As 2020 Closes
As twenty twenty closes
Like other years before,
We stop to see the blessings
Which lined its corridor.
Yes, there were many troubles,
Surprises bad and good,
And many things that happened
We’ve still not understood.
But through it all God drew us
To deeper trust in Him;
He guided and He kept us
When all ahead seemed dim.
He answered prayers and showed us
That when the whole world shakes
He’s still our strength and refuge
And does things for our sakes.
We say goodbye to one year
And gladly greet the next
With hopes it will be brighter
And maybe less complex.
Yet we are still more certain
Whatever comes next year
God goes before to bless us
And Jesus may appear.
