Of shades and colours

Words and music composed by David Tze Wan Wong 2026

A new season is come with adventures and achievements.
Renewed wish and passion, we rise up and soar the horizons.
Trails on the easels: life journeys in all kinds of colours and shades.
As if a trowel, life footsteps to wealth, power to veto and more.
We can predict next drop of rain, prevent all incurable.
To do the best and care for all: Ignore what’s not to know

A baby grew. His life full of extreme shades and colours.
With trowels not his own, he loved in obedience where we have failed.
Ignore no longer: we are not a concept, avatar or myth.
Denial is futile, since he shapes our life, speaks with us in our dreams.
Ignore no longer: do you know what’s the best medication?
He makes all things and cares till end; he’ll cause newness in us.

A fairy tale too old, simple, fake, teary, not my type.
Best deals signed, fruits galore; heaps multiply get inane emptiness.
Winnings add success: with emptiness, both hands brimmed, halt at the box.
Cornered in darkness, now Jesus rekindles our mind, health and soul.
This season not to pass till we let him tend to all our needs.
No more to wait, accept his love; say “yes” to Jesus now.

A formula, guidance, we are owners of the method.
Wait! Jesus the way, truth, and life: live like Mary, who challenged him.
Zacchaeus, the tax chief, lived “the way”: honesty to clients now and past.
Live like the lady: “the truth” in two coins shows our God who gives all.
Nothing to fear, explain or hide: he accepts you, me “as is”.
The creator who loves you, me, he’ll cause newness in us.

A day to week, month, year, doubts and control burn to life’s end.
In Jesus, our lives fill with surprises beyond best of the best:
Jesus can help us to cease urge to even, dominate or scorn.
Grace freely given to all shapes, blue, gold, green lizard, grey and more.
From sin of doubt, disdain and debt, to perfect peace in Jesus.
No more to wait, accept his love, say “yes” to Jesus now.
