Another year is gone – A mai trecut un an (free translation)

Another year is gone for good,
Old memories left to remember,
So many friends are gone with it,
They passed from here to infinite
to live with Him forever.

The years are passing, one by one,
They swallow like a cold river,
The rich the poor, same way, each one,
Leaving some kids without a mom,
Leaving the hearts to shiver.

In this New Year, you might be gone,
We never know, dear brother,
Learn how to count your years and days,
Walk humbly in His perfect ways,
Until you’ll meet your Father.

There is no better crown to gain,
By Grace, we are forgiven!
So, fight "The Good Fight" while still can,
You might have many years to run,
But you will win in Heaven.

Heavenly Father, to You I pray,
Please, keep us safe, to the end,
In the New Year, and every day,
Help us, with love, by faith to stay
forever in Your Hand.
