The Portal of the Year

As we enter through the portal
Of the year that’s still brand new,
Let’s go in with faith and purpose
As we watch what God will do.

Let’s go in with hope unfailing
Since God’s promises are bright.
Let’s go in with trust undoubting
For He always does what’s right.

Let’s go in with joy abounding
For He’s with us all the way.
Let’s go in with expectation
For He’ll hear us when we pray.

Let’s go in with songs of gladness
For He’s worthy of our praise.
Let’s go in with true thanksgiving
For He guides us all our days.

Let’s go in with God almighty
With our eyes on things above.
Let’s go in, hearts undivided
As we see and share His love.

As we enter through the portal
Of this year let’s walk with God –
Let’s go on and love the gospel
As we spread His light abroad.
