Happy New Year!

Auld Lang Syne – this familiar song has words I’ve never really understood even though I hear it every year… A little research tells me Auld Lange Syne means “time gone by” and it is a Scottish tune written by poet Robert Burns in 1788.

In church on Sunday we sang different lyrics to this familiar tune, the title of the song being part of the chorus which reads:

Chorus
All glory be to Christ our King!
All glory be to Christ!
His rule and reign we’ll ever sing
All glory be to Christ!

Words – the song

I love the lyrics of “Words” a song  by Hawk Nelson (partial lyrics below).       Words can be very powerful. The old adage “Sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me” is not true. The words of this song ring true.

“Words” by Hawk Nelson

They’ve made me feel like a prisoner
They’ve made me feel set free
They’ve made me feel like a criminal
Made me feel like a king

They’ve lifted my heart
To places I’d never been
And they’ve dragged me down
Back to where I began

Words can build you up
Words can break you down
Start a fire in your heart or
Put it out

Let my words be life
Let my words be truth
I don’t wanna say a word
Unless it points the world back to You {God}
