God's Blessings to All in 2008

"This is what the LORD says— he who made a way through the sea, a path through the mighty waters... "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland."

-- Isaiah 43:16,18-19 (NIV)


O God, our help in ages past
Our hope for years to come
Be Thou our guide while life shall last
And our eternal home
Amen

Joy to the World!

Joy to the world, the Lord is Come!
Leet earth receive her King...

Joy the the world, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ...

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love

Merry Christmas to one and all.
God bless us, every One!

Dinah Shore, vocals (1959)
Andre Previn, piano

Some day he'll come along
The man I love
And he'll be big and strong
The man I love
And when he comes my way
I'll do my best to make him stay

He'll look at me and smile
I'll understand
And in a little while
He'll take my hand
And though it seems absurd
I know we both won't say a word

Maybe I will meet him Sunday
Maybe Monday, maybe not
Still I'm sure to meet him one day
Maybe Tuesday will be my good news day

He'll build a little home
Just meant for two
From which I'll never roam
Who would, would you?
And so all else above
I'm waiting for the man I love

[Piano Bridge]

He'll build a little home
Just meant for two
From which I'll never roam
Who would, would you?
And so all else above
I'm waiting for the man I love
The man I love

From Russia with Love (Barry & Bart)


From Russia with Love (1963)
John Barry & Lionel Bart

Matt Monro

From Russia with love, I fly to you
Much wiser since my goodbye to you
I've traveled the world to learn
I must return, from Russia with love

I've seen places, faces and smile for a moment
But, oh, you haunted me so
Still, my tongue-tied, young pride
Would not let my love for you show
In case you sh'd say no

To Russia I flew, but there and then
I suddenly knew you'd care again
My running around is through
I fly to you, from Russia with love
