As people rejoice over another new year

and sounds of revelry fills the air

my mind wanders upward to heavenly things

as I consider what this new year may bring

A closer relationship with my Lord up above

& more time to share God’s mercy and love

Hours and days to be your hands and your feet

as lost, wandering souls I happen to meet

No new years resolutions to consider for me

just prayers for the captives-that they be set free

So as fireworks explode and bright light fills the air

their salvation, please Lord, is my fervent prayer.
