The old year is passing away

Soon will dawn a new day

with hope for a better tomorrow

and an end to our pain and sorrow.

We must pray for a better new year;

one with less sadness and fear

For only God can help us each day

to handle our struggles along the way.

God can help us carry our load

as we walk along life’s troublesome road.

He will provide us with respite and peace

and help make all our worries to cease.

Even when we must stay apart

we can have joy within our heart.

For we know God’s Spirit is ever near

to bring us much happiness and cheer.

Isa 40:31 – “but they that wait for Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.”
