ANOTHER NEW YEAR





ANOTHER NEW YEAR

I cannot begin to fathom
what our LORD may have in store.
If He decides to tarry,
it is our chance to LOVE HIM more.
There is no time for reflection,
only the now and what is,
So we may go forth as conquerors
for the world is truly HIS.
HE has assigned us each a purpose
have you found out what yours is?
Have you applied yourself in every instance
to show that you are HIS?
What will it take to get your attention
will adversity give you the chance?
To fall upon bended knee and say
"0 LORD, don't look at me askance."
I resolve to become a better me
so that I may one day hear YOU say,
"Well done, thou good and faithful child,
you may come to ME and stay."
I dare not think that could be today
for I'm not ready yet,
I have so much that is left to do
and on Heaven my mind is set.
Give me another day, LORD,
and I might just get it right.
I know that I will try real hard
and give it all my might.
For if I have learned anything at all,
it is that we must never quit.
We must be about the FATHER'S business
and never, ever forget!
