The Alternative Three Magi!
The Alternative Three Magi!
Opus 10 No. 7
Everyone
“It was the first century…
and Herod had just lost the
seasonal supermarket chain war
– again…!”
1st Verse
From all the way in Lapland
To Bethlehem with presents
Came Santa Claus and Rudolf
Wearing their bright green panties
Santa Claus gave lace up boots
Much bigger than stocking size
He also gave shaving kit
For when Jesus gets baptised
Mr Spock!
2nd Verse
Mr Spock from the Starship
Came from yonder Galaxy
His gift for the young baby
Was a large tube of Smarties
He also had other gifts
From great planets far and wide
But he lost them all
Oh dear!
When the Starship fell over
3rd Verse
The third wiseman was lanky
He wrote music for the Tsars
Moved from Russia to the States
This Sergei Rachmaninoff
His gift was not all that good
But must be played with left toe
Softly and quietly
A lullaby for a King
A full-size grand piano
Traditional Polish Lullaby
Close your eyes, Jesus, dear
Hush all Your sighing
Mary is holding You
No need for crying
The Alternative Three Magi!

My Eternal Peace
My Eternal Peace
Opus 10 No. 6
1st Chorus
God’s peace
Do not be anxious
About anything
But in everything
Pray to Almighty
This peace from God guards me
Before my eyes open in the morning
1st Verse
Before my eyes open in the morning
At the instance of emerging from sleep
Even before I am aware of anything external
I experience something so powerful and so deep
2nd Verse
It is the start of a brand-new day
I rise and prepare for its future
Knowing this peace will not be fazed
Because it is an inexhaustible treasure
3rd Verse
Sometimes you can see it in my eyes
Or hear it behind my voice
It has something of eternal life in it
And inwardly I choose to rejoice
4th Verse
When the day turns into history
And I retire in the evening in peace
I rest sweetly on my cosy pillow
And before long I am fast asleep
5th Verse
This peace is from God and it guards me
Jesus left it here two thousand years ago
The first to have it were the Disciples
A special gift you can know
2nd Chorus
Do not be anxious
About anything
But in everything
Pray to Almighty
Ah
Ah
Ah
Ah
Before my eyes open in the morning
My Eternal Peace
