 |
| THIS NEW
YEAR |
|
|
|
Take a
lighted candle |
| Look
closely at the flickering flame |
| Is it like
last year's promises |
| That shone
brightly and then faded away? |
| You recall
each day and night past |
| And wonder
where they're leading to |
| But inside
you still have |
| That still
small voice speaking to you |
|
| It leads
you gently on |
| Through the
sunshine and the rain |
| Renewing
your spirit |
| And
rekindling the flame |
|
| In this new
year |
| Look at
your neighbours |
| And the
friends with whom you cry |
| Then take
the time |
| To join
with them and give thanks |
| For love
easing each fear |
| In this new
year |
|
| Who walks
life's road with you ? |
| Who brings
you joy instead of pain |
| As you
answer each question |
| Close your
eyes and pray |
| That this
world full of heartache |
| And busy
people within |
| Will take
time to share with you |
| And love's
story will begin |
|
| It leads
you to face each day |
| And realise
you're not alone |
| But the
voice speaks only calm |
| In the
midst of the storm |
|
| In this new
year |
| Look around
you |
| And you
will surely find |
| Friends who
share your life |
| Then take
the time |
| To face
with them |
| A future
that can be clear |
| In this new
year |
| |
