Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!

Begin Anew

 

A new day, a new year.

Let me begin with love.

Overflowing kindness,

Soothing compassion,

Generous giving.

 

Let me walk in peace,

Humble steps,

Gentle spirit,

Undivided heart.

 

Let me sing for joy,

Face glowing with gratitude,

Lips poised in praise,

Eyes shining with promise.

 

With Christ in my soul,

Love in my heart,

Peace in my stance,

Joy in my countenance,

Let me live in hope.

O God Of Grace and Goodness, welcome us into a new year, filling us with hope, surrounding us in peace. Open our hearts to love one another. Let kindness flow and compassion soothe.

In You, Lord, let us live in hope.

In the Glorious Name of Jesus, we give all thanks and praise,

Amen
