Listening to my heartbeat, I'm in wonder now

As I know, my God, you've entered there

To dwell somehow.

Within my breast, to stand the test for me.

My fight and battle is going on,

But with you beside me, I'll be strong.

Thank you, dear Father and Son, complete,

As I humbly bow with love at your feet.

New again

New again, I am renewed.

Another year has come and gone.

I look forward and beyond --

To a year filled with promise, hopes and dreams

Yes, new again, it seems.

New things to try

Promises to keep.

To God, Almighty, I raise my voice.

Thank you dear, Father, for giving me a choice

Each day to be new again.

By cleansing me from my sins,

Jesus suffered so that I might know

That I am healed and can forward go --

New again in this new year.
