Entering This New Year (By Honoria A. Groves)
I enter this year without burdens; Freed from a mountain of care
For last night I gave them to JESUS; Who PROMISED my burdens to bear!
This year will not be without problems; There may be many to face
BUT I can approach them with courage; SUSTAINED by God’s marvelous GRACE!
I enter this New Year with gladness; For JESUS restored my JOY
He filled me with PEACE and ASSURANCE; That Satan CANNOT destroy!
I left the old year in repentance; For living a life of defeat
Leaving my fear and my failures; At my Heavenly Father’s feet!
I enter this year with a purpose; To minister Christian LOVE
To needy souls ALL around me; And lift them to God above!
Now with eager anticipation; With FAITH instead of fear
And the PRESENCE OF CHRIST, my SAVIOR; I will enter this New Year!!!
