New Year's Prayer
~ Kay Hoffman
Another year is dawning
With the chance to start anew.
May I be kinder, wiser, Lord,
In all I say and do,
Not so caught up in selfish gain That I would fail to see The things in life that mean the most Cost not a fancy fee.
The warm, kind word that I can give, The outstretched hand to help, The prayers I pray for those in need -- More precious these than wealth.
I know not what may lie ahead Of laughter or of tears;
I only need to know each day
That You are walking near.
I'm thankful for this brand new year As now I humbly pray,
My hand secure in Yours, dear Lord, Each step along the way.
May Jesus' love, bless and hold you close to His heart throughout the new year.
