New year intentions

The party’s over, the new year is here to stay

How shall I make the next 364 days count?

What can I do to keep my faith alive and real?

Can I make someone smile with delight

Laugh away the blues, lighten a mood 

Bring comfort to the sick of heart 

Soothe an ailing body, a fevered imagination  

Chase away fears by injecting sound reason

Into doubts and all matters dark

Bring freedom with a song of gratitude

Inspire harmonious peace at the same time too

Can I invite you to walk the narrow path with me?

Do the right thing always because it feels really good

Can I be the bubbly God-eyed optimist?

As the overflowing cup pronounces:

The joy of the Lord is my strength 

Cascading like rain from heaven

Watering the earth so thirsty for love

Enrobing florescent hills with fruitfulness 

I can do joy, I can do that joy

I can breathe new life into my days

Through Him, with Him and in Him
Through love, with love and in love

This is how I want to spend my days

What about you?
