It is Christmas time (and see how happy my wife Cynthia was to receive a gift from a party)! Here is something for you all – two songs that I have recorded just for this festival. I hope that these songs can touch your hearts and to be reminded what Christmas is all about besides all the shopping and partying. The title of the 1st song is The Right To Live (Oh Holy Night) and as for the 2nd song, it is Don’t Give Up.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
The Right To Live – Written by Wilfrid Wong
Oh Holy Night – Tradition
Vocals: Cynthia Arianto, Wilfrid Wong
12-String Guitar, Classical Guitar, and Bass Guitar: Wilfrid Wong
There are wars that break out everyday
People dying everyday
If we strip away our faith and race
Don’t we all see a common face?
No matter if you’re a believer or not
No matter which religion you come from
We all wish this world a better place
We all love one another like brothers and sisters
We all love one another like brothers and sisters
There are sorrows that plague the world today
Children crying everyday
If we stop to hurt and start to think
Tell me where do these ever make sense?
Let’s give each other peace and love
Let’s give each other the right to live
The right to smile, the right to laugh
The right to share the joys in life
There are many songs that sing this hope
There are many songs that sing this love
Let’s start with a song that I know
Let’s start with a song that I know
O’ Holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth
Long lay the world
In sin and error pining
‘Til He appeared and the soul felt His worth
The thrill of hope,
The weary world rejoices
For yonder brings a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel’s voices
O’ night divine
O’ night when Christ was born
O’ night divine
O’ night, O’ night divine
In this night when hope was born
This is when we started to see
This light that warms our heart
That is when our souls felt its worth
The thrill of hope,
The weary world rejoices
For yonder brings a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees
Oh, hear the angel’s voices
O’ night divine
O’ night when Christ was born
O’ night divine
O’ night, O’ night divine
Don’t Give Up – Written by Wilfrid Wong
Vocal, 12-String Guitar, Classical Guitar, and Bass Guitar: Wilfrid Wong
Don’t give up. Have faith in what you do
Trust in God our Lord who will leave you peace and shelter you
Through the darkest hours of yours
Don’t give up. Have faith in who you are
Trust in God our Lord who will lift you up when you’re down
Time and time again, and again
And when you’re weak, He sends His spirit to dwell within you
Making you stronger each moment you pray with Him
His love for you is overwhelming and so it is this perfect love …
That casts away all your fears
Don’t give up. All you need to do is to
Say His name and he will be there for you
Everything is gonna be fine like before
Don’t give up. Leave it all to Him and you know
In your heart He will carry you once again
So long as you let Him to
And when you’re weak, He sends His spirit to dwell within you
Making you stronger each moment you pray with Him
His love for you is overwhelming and so it is this perfect love …
That casts away all your fears
And this Christmas marks a new beginning
For the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ
And His love has inspired us for thousands of eyars
May you find your strength in His name
May you find your strength in His name
And this Christmas marks a new beginning
For the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ
And His love has inspired us for thousands of eyars
May you find your strength in His name
May you find your strength in His name

Hey, the song is pretty good! But I found the vocals a little bit too soft and overshadowed by the bass (or is it my sound system?). Keep up the solid jamming! Merry Christmas and a great New Year ahead!!
I don’t know how to comment on the technical side, but just to let you know that I love them!
Cyn, you really have a good voice! My brother leh… also good and has great improvement!
Glad you like it … and, Lora, the 2nd song is for you. That’s why I tried my best to get it done this year rather than next. Outcome may not be perfect but I gathered it’s in time for your situation.
I know … and thanks… (in fact, I have made the comment in your diary)
