Have a God New Year

I. In the Valley of Shadows

When sorrow veils the morning light,

And tears like rivers freely flow,

When prayers are groans in deepest night,

And hope lies buried deep below—

Then Christ, the Man of Sorrows, near,

Draws close to catch the falling tear.

He bore our griefs, our pain He knew,

And walks the midnight valley too.

(Psalm 23:4)

II. In the Dance of Joy

When laughter rings and hearts arise,

And blessings bloom like springtime rain,

Let songs ascend to sapphire skies,

For grace has triumphed over pain.

The Lord song, our shield,

Has sown His joy in every field.

Rejoice! For Christ, our risen King,

Has tuned our hearts anew to sing.

(Psalm 30:11)

III. In the Fog of Uncertainty

When paths grow dim and stars are veiled,

And questions crowd the weary mind,

When every plan seems weak or failed,

And faith is all we’ve left to find—

The Spirit whispers, “Peace, be still,”

And bends our will to match His will.

He leads through storms with unseen hand,

And sets our feet on solid land.

(Proverbs 3:5)

V. In God’s Waiting Room

When answers tarry, slow to come,

And time drips down like winter rain,

When prayers return in silence, numb,

And patience wears beneath the strain—

Still wait, O soul, upon the Lord,

His promises are not ignored.

The Comforter is near, not far,

A guiding light, a morning star.

(Psalm 130:5)

V. In the Hope of the Cross

O year anew, with pages white,

We write with ink of faith, not fear.

For Christ has conquered death and night—

His mercy crowns the dawning year.

He is our Saviour, strong and kind,

Our Healer of both heart and mind.

Our Friend who walks each step we take,

Whose love no trial can ever shake.

(Hebrews 13:8)

VI. In The Spirit’s Power – a Benediction

So lift your eyes, O child of grace,

The road ahead is not unknown.

The Spirit walks at mercy’s pace,

And you shall never walk alone.

In joy or grief, in peace or strife,

He breathes in you the breath of life.

So let this year, through every sphere,

Be crowned with God—A God New Year.

(Romans 15:13)
