My New Year's Wish For YOU

A new day has dawned upon you and me

And only one reason is there for this possibility

A new mercy has been given from God above

The very evidence of His great love

Another 365 days have passed

And we’ve come to greet this New Year at last

I know many will wish you all things good

I’d wish them all, too, if I should

But I’d like to wish you something new

Something to last you all year through

For good health and wealth may come and go

Even friends and family may also do so

What I would like to wish & pray for you

Is not as fleeting as happiness

Nor is it the promise of prosperity

But what Jesus alone offered for you and me

I wish you hunger only for God’s Word

I wish you thirst for what Jesus has for us assured

I wish you understanding of God’s will

To run only after that which pleases Him

I wish you Peace that Jesus alone can give

Unlike the one the world perceives

It is the kind that reaches eternity

The one that breaks a sinner free

I wish for you God’s saving grace

I wish for you to seek His face

These things I pray your eyes can see

As the only things that matter for eternity

When this New Year brings not the things you hope for

When plans and dreams aren’t working anymore

In the end when all there is are troubled seas

I wish you only the Prince of Peace.

With much love this New Year's Day and always... :)
