A New Year Brings A New Beginning

As the New Year starts and the old year ends

There's no better time to make amends

For all the things we sincerely regret

And wish in our hearts we could somehow forget -

We all make mistakes, for it's human to err,

But no one need ever give up in despair,

For God gives us all a brand-new beginning,

A chance to start over and repent of our sinning -

And when God forgives us we, too, must forgive

And resolve to do better each day that we live

By constantly trying to be like Him more nearly

And to trust in His wisdom

and love Him more dearly -

Assured that we're never out of His care

Ande we're always welcome to seek Him in prayer.
