New Year's Prayer

What a year it has been 

and a year that will be!

It's been a year filled with hope 

and so much sincerity 

to see Your kingdom come 

on earth as it is in heaven,

giving us each day our daily bread 

with Your Presence as our full provision! 

We are thankful, Lord, 

for the year You have given!

And our prayer for the new year is simply this: 

to see You here, 

right here, in our midst. 

God, Emmanuel, 

with us 

through the changes and plot twists. 

Come, oh come, Emmanuel! 

And let your light shine here.

How we need your 

Glory and Presence 

throughout the whole year!

Yes, throughout the whole year!
