A New Year

[Soldier4Christ]

A year untried before me lies.
What it shall bring of strange surprise,
Of joy, or grief, I cannot tell;
But God my Father knoweth well

I make no concern of mine,
But leave it all with Love divine.
The sun may shed no light by day,
No stars at night illumine my way.

My soul shall still have no affright
Since God is all my life and light.
Though all the earthly lights grow dim,
He walks in light who walks with Him.

No ill can come but He can cure,
No word doth all of good insure:
He’ll see me through the journey’s length,
For daily need give daily strength!

Another year is dawning,
Dear Father let it be,
In working or in waiting,
Another year with thee.

Another year of progress,
Another year of praise,
Another year of proving
Thy presence all the days.

Another year of mercies,
Of faithfulness and grace,
Another year of gladness,
The glory of thy face.

Another year of leaning
Upon thy loving breast,
Another year of trusting,
Of quiet, happy rest.

Another year of service,
Of witness for thy love,
Another year of training
For holier work above.

Another year is dawning,
Dear Father, let it be,
On earth, or else in heaven,
Another year for thee.



Jam 4:14  Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

Pro 27:1  Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.

Very good poem.  God is in charge of our whole future.  But we are responsible for what we do with it.

I am adding my poem "A Blessed New Year".  I believe this will be a great year for God's people.

                        A Blessed New Year

      A new year is here.
      No time to be sad.
      Make up your mind
      To make someone glad.

      Put Jesus first always
      And make yourself last.
      Remember the Father.
      Forget your old past.

      All things work together
      When you do it with love.
      He will make all things “new”
      Says your Father above.

      You’ll enjoy a Blessed New Year
      When you go with the flow.
      If you stay on God’s path,
      You surely will grow.

Onward Christian Soldier.  We have much work to do to get His Word out.

AMEN PASTOR ROGER AND LIVINGBYFAITH,

Brother and Sister, This was a beautiful way to start the New Year!

I simply know that every day belongs to the LORD, and it's always good to know:  This is another wonderful day that the LORD has made - Let us be glad in it! The same thing can be said of the New Year.

I hope and pray that 2006 will be a year where all Christians listen and yield to the Will of GOD. If we do, our Joy in JESUS will be more full, and it would be nice for every Christian to understand exactly what this means.

I didn't write any poetry to add here, but please let me simply say:

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

IN JESUS CHRIST!!

Love In Christ,
Tom

Psalms 28:7 NASB  The LORD is my strength and my shield; My heart trusts in Him, and I am helped; Therefore my heart exults, And with my song I shall thank Him.
