Last Year's Praise To New Year's Trust
We praise God for granting us His bestowments so timely
Supplying our needs, providing us sufficiently…
Our faith trusts His presence this New Year He assures wondrously
Acknowledging His protection always shielding us serenely.
We thank God for His endowed peace-filled contentment
Making us experience His satisfying replenishment…
Our hearts pray for strength this New Year toward virtuous achievement
Relying on His power to surmount temptation in our everyday engagement.
We honour God for enabling us to triumph last year by His divine revival
Smiting pandemic-caused discouragements midst earthly survival…
Our souls still cling to Him this New Year for spiritual upheaval
Believing His promises as we prepare for Christ’s imminent arrival.
We exalt God for His compassion last year, soul-refreshing
Allowing us to commune with Him in His nourishing…
Our spirits abide in His care this New Year for our service-flourishing
Meditating His Word, wisdom and counsel worth cherishing.
We glorify God for His bliss, cheering us in to rejoice in His gladness
Pacifying our fears and doubts while striving in His kingdom’s business…
Our vow this New Year is to stay in His upholding fellowship closeness
Sharing His blessings* through stewardship along His loving kindness.
*Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.
