I thank you, Heavenly Father, 

To see the dawn of this New Year,

I’m so glad to have a fresh, clean start,

And to know You’re always near.



Last year brought many challenges,

Yet You were with me all the way,

You proved to me a thousand times,

I can trust You, come what may.



I’m so thankful that You’ve shown me,

That whatever this year might bring,

You are always in complete control

And with You, I can face anything.



I know nothing will ever touch my life,

That’s not part of Your Divine plan;

Each circumstance, whether good or bad,

Is still subject to Your command.



I’m so thankful for Your tender love,

For Your grace and mercy, too,

Whatever this new year may bring,

I now fully entrust it  to You.



But, Father, I pray for Your blessings, 

For myself, and those I hold dear,

Be with us each and every day,

Through this wonderful New Year!
