New Year

My heart beats like a drum, flying up with the sun
I grab Your hand again
Renovated with life, my eyes again bright
And You are radiant
Where hope can hold my hand of sorrow
And we can walk into tomorrow
Where peace is found in troubled days
And the joy of Jesus carries pain

This is a new year, this is a new day to rise
Shine, lift up your eyes
This is a new year, this is a new day to rise
Shine, and point the way to God’s great life

I’m held in a place, a beautiful space
Where heaven meets earth
My heart opens wide and the Father pours life
Deep inside my soul
Where hope can hold my hand of sorrow
And we can walk into tomorrow
Where peace is found in troubled days
And the joy of Jesus carries pain away

This is a new year, this is a new day to rise
Shine, lift up your eyes
This is a new year, this is a new day to rise
Shine, and point the way to God’s great life

Where hope can hold my hand of sorrow
And we can walk into tomorrow
This is a new year, this is a new day to rise
Shine, lift up your eyes
This is a new year, this is a new day to rise
Shine, and point the way to God’s great life
This is a new year

-Charlie Hall, “New Year” from the album “The Bright Sadness”

Jesus makes all things new. You’re forgiven of your past. This is a new year. There is new life in Christ.
