How did you start the year 2004?
Did you find yourself lying facedown on the floor?
Did you have so much alcohol to drink
That you could not even begin to think?
Did you vomit until your guts hung out?
Were the wife and kids cussed about?
What were you doing at the midnight hour,
When Grandpa 2003 lost his power?
Did you see the 'Ball' or God's dove of love
Bringing our war-torn world peace from above?
Should Christ return on this most celebrated day
To shine His light and show us the way?
When you awoke was your head filled with pain?
Did you vow that you’d never drink again?
Did you moan and groan and pop some pills
While you cursed the world and all its ills?
Did you forget to thank Him for your health,
While you sat and complained about not enough wealth?
This year is a “tabula rasa” as such,
And if you‘ve a mind to, you can do so much.
So why not leave evils and sorrows behind,
And the road to a better life you will find.
And when Satan comes knocking, don’t hand him the key,
Instead, say “Jesus, will you get that for me?”
