Whatever Comes This Year

Whatever lies ahead this year
I face with faith instead of fear
For God my Shepherd guides my way
And walks beside me day by day.

Whatever blessings bring delight
Will be reflections of God’s light,
And I’ll rejoice and look for ways
To lift my heart in thankful praise.

Whatever sorrows pierce my soul,
Whatever billows o’er me roll,
I’ll trust God’s grace will see me through
With strength to cling to what is true.

Whatever needs I have I’ll bring
In trusting prayer before my King,
And then I’ll watch Him work for me
To thank Him for eternity.

Whatever else I find to do,
I’ll search God’s Word and read it through;
I’ll seek to learn about His love
And set my heart on things above.

Whatever comes, whatever goes,
I’ll trust the One who sees and knows.
Lord, help me walk with You this year
In faith and hope and love sincere.
