New Year's Freedom
New Year's
memories of last
realizing He was there
looking at the bigger picture
knowing
as then, so now.
He was faithful
He is faithful
He will be faithful.
Oh, consistent and creative Father
remind me this 2016th year
You are here
You are there
You will continue Your work
pruning
guiding
correcting
revealing
reviving
making new
just because I am Your's.
You have promised.
You will be true.
For this year, my resolutions of do's and don'ts
won't appear on these pages of blue and white
my hope and future is anchored in You
So when I fail a million times
Instead of looking into my list and crying in defeat
I will turn to the pages filled with grace
Travel back to the cross and kneel
hands surrendered
Run to the empty tomb shouting hallelujah
And walk in freedom with You,
my Redeemer of the million failures of 2016
only You can conquer
only You can change
My joy?
To run with You till end of days.
Strengthen my weak knees, my Great Conqueror
Make much of yourself through this jar of clay
Let my heart be found hidden in You, Emmanuel.
Strengthen my faith
My trust
My desire for You
Erase my fear
of the valley of deep darkness and tears
for You are there
amaze me with the power of Your perfect love
Caster of fears
remind me, Father
when I'm tempted
to make my list of rules and regulations again
You are my anchor
You are here
You are there
I need not fear
You are my security
past, present, and future.
