Another Year To Serve Christ

The old year is over.
It has come and gone.
Its days, we can't get back,
For time just marches on.

Looking back, we see times
When we failed to do our best.
Sometimes we needed to work,
But we took a longer rest.

Maybe we did something
To bring our Savior shame.
Maybe we stayed quiet
Instead of exalting His name.

Maybe we failed to witness
When the opportunity was there.
Maybe we didn't read the Word
And spend some time in prayer.

O God, forgive our failures
As we start this year anew.
Help us to stand for You
And be a willing servant too,
