T’was on a starry moonlit night
that Love is Christmas
and Love is Joy and Peace
and Hope for everyone
~
He came to heal
and to renew
redeem and save us all
The Gift of Love
is Joy and Peace
A Blessed Christmas morn
[Can be sung to the tune of It Came Upon The Midnight Clear]
~
Mist floating
with the wind
mysteriously silent
as if
it has a story to tell
Beyond boundaries
Awake
Hope
A melancholy stillness
Dreamlike peace
Evocative
A moment
An atmosphere
Exuding
a vision
Arousing
an imagination
Poetry
An infinite sea
Reason
to cross
the infinite sea
Making finite
The Sun has risen
When stars are out
sparkling on a clear night sky
That wondrous star
so brightly shines
in the stillness of the night
I stand in awe
gazing at the dazzling Light
Sing of Grace and Hope
Songs of Peace and Love
This amazing night
~
Merry Christmas
And
A Very Happy New Year
How the first light
makes gold the day
~
Seeds at dawn
great with bright thoughts
~
Birdsongs flute from trees
It is peaceful
Emerald valleys and
jade rainforests
~
Visions of these
to discover
Seasons of opportunities …
Star of Hope
guiding with Your Grace
touching hearts
candle gleaming
in the silence of the night
Peace and Joy
Love so Divine.
~
Merry Christmas
&
Happy Holidays

Streams of stars
scintillating silent skies at night
lyrics softly whisper
heart begins to dance
gentle strings from my guitar
love’s sweet rhapsody.
A Star Shines
Remember those days
when testings and endurance
worked out for the better
because patience won
and made the character
stronger for growth.
~
When difficult times
stretch the emotions
think on those days
of inspiration instilling
an appreciation of
optimistic resilience.
~
The season of healing
gives peace and hope
stirring hearts to
reflect and enjoy
the rhythm of harmony and love.
Like the deer
longs for the cool
waters of the stream
Crystal clear waters
flow abundantly
and does quench
to satisfy the thirst.
~
And the longing soul
dreams of love and peace
so the heart within
knows the joy destined
from knowing the Creator
God of hope and peace.
~
(Based on Psalm 42)
Singers, dancers

This short cantata
moving story
of the plight
of a youth
in search of
his own identity
strict upbringing
lost in modern society.
~
The music and dance
conveying a message
of hope, peace and joy
The story unfolds
he meets three friends
one gave him hope
another led him to peace
and the third shared joy with him.
~
The evening under the stars
silhouettes at sunset
waves breaking
audience
mesmerised
a special performance to remember
a friend in need
is a friend indeed
~
Joy to the world!
The peace of God that surpasses all understanding
will comfort your heart to keep on believing
His Living Word so sound and sure
will help you trust in His perfect working.
When the natural mind is overtaken by the power of darkness,
It is overwhelmed and loses its rational thinking,
But if you choose to seek the thoughts that are from above,
The Lord will fill it with all lovely things.

An evergreen conifer
Decorated with tinsels, bells and stars
For the festive season of celebration.
.
The birth of Jesus
Saviour of the human race
Giving unconditional love, faith
Hope and joy.
.
May the meaning of Christmas
Ring loud and clear
Sound out the message of salvation
Peace and goodwill
Around the world.
.
Enjoy with loved ones and friends
This joyous occasion
Remembering the lonely
And less fortunate
Sharing and taking time
To bring some cheer to them.
Love joy and peace,
Are God’s gifts
For all to share,
With a hurting world in despair.
