A NEW YEAR'S MESSAGE, by                    
First Line: As I look all around me and wonder
Last Line: Living the new year, day by day.
Subject(s): Christianity; Holidays; Leadership; New Year


As I look all around me and wonder
Just what the New Year holds,
I hear a Voice saying, "Fear Not";
And I know it's the One who molds
The lives of men, and their destiny.
I am afraid to travel alone
The rough, rugged pathway I trod;
Yet I will have sure, safe council,
If I will but listen to God.
I am so weak and sinful,
And know not the best thing to do;
But I have a Friend who is loyal,
I have a Friend who is true;
And when I would fail Him and falter,
When temptations spring up anew;
I list to the Voice above
As it tells me of Jesus' love;
And I know I am safe, as I go my way
Living the New Year, day by day.
