Hymn/Song Information

For this New Year we humbly ask Your

For this New Year
we humbly ask Your grace;
Help us to always see
Your loving face
Shining upon us,
bringing peace within,
Keeping our feet from
paths of mortal sin.

Dear Lord, we ask that
we would always be
Open to You, and that
all men may see
In how we treat them
that we’ve made a pact.
To let Your love shine
through our ev’ry act.

Within our fam’lies
may we know Your peace;
As we share moments
let our love increase.
Teach us to share
with those we truly love
As we would do
so in that home above.

Now for Your church, Lord,
we would give You thanks,
All kinds of people
making up her ranks;
Help her be true in
all she longs to do
That ev’ry act shall praise
and honor You.

For this Your world, dear Lord,
we beg You now
Beat ev’ry sword blade
into humble plow;
We seek that peace that
we can help to bring
When we acknowledge You
as Lord and King.

For me, O Lord, this too
I simply ask;
Help me to not shirk
my appointed task,
Teach me to trust, Lord,
walking day by day,
In simple faith that
You show me Your way.
