A New Year’s Prayer
As the twinkling lights of Christmas trees
Around us begin to dim
May Jesus Christ, the Light of the world,
Shine bright, in our hearts, within;
Bringing every day of the New Year
Love and peace, ever flowing.
May we treat all with understanding,
With compassion and respect.
Then every day will be a blessing
For ourselves and for the rest.
Oh, dear Jesus, please, make it happen…
Make this New Year just the best!
