NEW YEAR PRAYER

Another Year is dawning
With the chance to start anew
May I be kinder, wiser Lord
In all I say and do
Not so caught up in selfish gain
That I would fail to see
The things in life that mean the most
Cost not a fancy fee
The warm kind word that I can give
The outstretched hand to help
The prayers I pray for those in need
More precious these than wealth
I know not what may be ahead
Of laughter or of tears
I only need to know each day
That You are walking near
I am thankful for this brand new year
As now I humbly pray
My hand secure in yours dear Lord
Each step along the way
