    Thank you Lord for giving me

    The brand new year ahead

    Help me live the way I should

    As each new day I tread.

     

    Give me gentle wisdom

    That I might help a friend

    Give me strength and courage

    So a shoulder I may lend.

     

    The year ahead is empty

    Help me fill it with good things

    Each new day filled with joy

    And the happiness it brings.

     

    Please give the leaders of our world

    A courage born of peace

    That they might lead us gently

    And all the fighting cease.

     

    Please give to all upon this earth

    A heart that’s filled with love

    A gentle happy way to live

    With your blessings from above.
