Lil' Things of Me!

I want to sing,

Until I am lost in Your love,

Till I’m found in Your presence,

Worshiping before Your throne.

Moved by Your spirit,

Entering into His flow,

How precious this moment,

Lord I want You to know.

It’s You,

You who have won my heart,

Taken me into Your arms,

Comforted me like a friend,

Your love,

Surrounded me from the start,

I never want to be apart,

From You ever again.

There is none like You,

No one else can touch my heart like You do,

I could search for all eternity long, and find,

There is none like You.

Your mercy flows like the river wide,

And healing comes from Your hand,

Suffering children are safe in Your arm,

There is none like You

Holy Father, 

God of our yesterdays, our today, and our tomorrows. We praise You for Your unequalled greatness. Thank You for the year behind us and for the year ahead. Help us in Your new year, Father, to fret less and laugh more. To teach our children to laugh by laughing with them. To teach others to love by loving them. Knowing, when Love came to the stable in Bethlehem, He came for us. So that Love could be with us, and we could know You. That we could share Love with others.

Help us, Father, to hear Your love song in every sunrise, in the chirping of sparrows in our backyards, In the stories of our old folks, and the fantasies of our children. Help us to stop and listen to Your love songs, so that we may know You better and better.

We rejoice in the world You loved into being. Thank You for another new year and for new chances every day. We pray for peace, for light, and for hope, that we might spread them to others. Forgive us for falling short this past year. We leave the irreparable past in your hands, And step out into the unknown New Year knowing You will go with us.

We accept Your gift of a new year and we rejoice in what’s ahead, depending on You to help us do exactly what You want. I say it again, we rejoice! In Jesus name,

Amen.
