Ring the bells and blow the horns
Another year has come and gone
Good days, bad days over now
Only God can show me how
To make the future better than the past
Focused on the things that last
Bringing in new days to treasure
Waking up with grace to measure
Taking time in deep reflection
Reminded of the blessings given
Stirring up a thankful heart
Wondering did I do my part
Another chance to me imparted
Another year to give has started
Lord, help me not to squander chances
Given to me in my circumstances
Let me make each moment count
For eternal blessings from the fount
Let my words and actions matter
And always, my friend, Jesus, flatter
And when He brings across my way
Those whose hope has gone astray
Let me not squander help to mend
And introduce them to my friend.
Word from the Lord in a poem as given to Nancy Nunley 12/30/2018
