New Year Praise

I’m looking back on all the things
You’ve done for me this year,
And, Lord, I’m overwhelmed with awe
At grace so real and dear.

Who’d ever think of all the things
You ordered just for me?
And only You are able, Lord,
To work so perfectly.

Though words can’t say the thanks I owe,
I’ll praise You just the same,
And by my actions seek to show
How much I love Your Name.

You never change, You’re always good,
So in the coming year
With eager heart I’ll watch for things
That show You’re always near.

With steadfast hope and strengthened faith
I’ll trust You day by day;
With guiding love and righteous grace
Please keep me in Your way.
