A New Year's Prayer I thank you for this year A fresh start given once again New seasons to appear I'm in a season of my life Perhaps you'd call it fall But does it really matter much? Not really, not at all! You've given life eternal So time is no concern We're only here a little while To serve You and to learn Oh thank you Lord, your precious gift Of unending devotion, Will steer me through each little storm Or get me across an ocean! Sometimes I think I know a lot But then I realize Man's wisdom is just foolishness In God's eternal eyes So, Loving Father, be my guide Through every situation Words fail me when I try to show My deep appreciation So I put this New Year in your hands And know that it will be The path that you have chose for me Your plan eternally!
