Happy New Year

Household hums with boisterous cheer
Ambience of expectation
Partying not the main rule here.
Please the Lord to bless everyone
You led us safe through troubles past.

Now we give thanks, with bowed head pray.
Each one shall toil until the last,
Will you cast light upon the way?

Yea Lord, we’ll strive just that much more,
Ever learning to be better,
And not repeat mistakes of yore,
Reading your Word, every letter.
