A Blessing to Stay New

When the ball
Has dropped
And the fireworks
Have grown silent
And the new year’s
Resolves have faded,
One thing remains
Ever new:

The grace of God.

“The steadfast love
Of the Lord
Never ceases;
His mercies never come
To an end;
They are new every morning….” (Lam. 3:22-23)

You need no new year
To be made new.
You are a child of grace
In Jesus Christ
And God’s grace never grows old.
