Time is swiftly passing.
A new year soon begins,
With challenges to conquer,
Let new hope arise within.
Lifting eyes t'wards Jesus,
The Author of your life.
Pray the New Year brings with it,
A world set free from strife.
Treasure all your yesterdays;
Let go of every pain,
For as we each move forward,
We have so much to gain.
Those memories will be with you,
Deep within your heart.
Move forward now; let Grace abound,
Great love, let God impart.
And as the time moves forward,
Resolve to lend a hand,
To leave all unforgiving,
Go forth in peace again.
