Goodbye 2013, Hello 2014

Good bye 2013

With all its joys and its pains

Its unfulfilled expectations
Its unmet deadlines and goals
All its losses and its gains.

My failures and my sins

All under the blood of Christ

Nothing but memory remains

And gratitude, growth, and Fruit
By God’s grace and His Spirit
New strength and hope obtains.

Hello 2014

New – neither friend nor foe
With its uncharted course
Its way unknown & obscured
Covered with fresh fallen snow
No footprints or dirt to mar
With mercies new every morning
And only the lamp of God’s Word
To light each step as we go.

Blessed 2014 everyone!
