The splendour of Saint Peter’s
Beautiful symmetry
Walls so tall
Man so small
Fitting poetry
I walked through there with Margaret
On our honeymoon
A place I often visited
Trying to be in tune
Now on this holy New Year’s Eve
People gather there
To thank the Lord for everything
To ask again in prayer
Let us learn that every day
Calls on us anew
Arise and greet the Lord of life
He is expecting you
This life is not just passing time
You are on a journey now
To your own Jerusalem
There to keep your vow
Walk the road ahead of you
One day at a time
Give your heart to God in love
Your heart will beat in time
