GREAT LIFE THIS NEW YEAR
Vibrant life is Creator’s gift worthy to be enjoyed
Triumphant in vanquishing selfishness, arrogance, apathy
Radiant to exude peaceful bliss, marked by love midst care.
Abundant blest life
assured by the Lord of joy
conquers dearth’s gloom with hope's bliss
toward good sharing
ready for each one who works
while trusting provisions’ Source.
Jubilant great life
brings us this New Year by faith…
we claim with God’s grace*
*2Corinthians 9:8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.
