A Fresh Start

Yesterday has been and gone

today is a new day to start from

whatever our background

no matter where we have been

God loves us he wipes our slate clean

he will stand by us both day and night

we are precious to him  in his sight

he is compassionate and graceful

he frees us from all our sin

he called us by our name and we belong to him.                   amen.
