“New Year’s Resolution”
We pray for boldness, Father, 1
To speak of You to all; 2
We pray for strength to journey, 3
To stand instead of fall. 4
We pray to look with kindness 5
Upon the least of these; 6
We pray for hearts of Your love, 7
For words that will appease. 8
We pray to love You, Father, 9
More and more each day,
To cling to You each moment 10
And heed the words You say. 11
And so, Dear Triune Father, 12
We give ourselves to You,
Into the Potter’s holy hands, 13
We will begin anew. 14
