Half Through the Year
It is hard to believe
That July has arrived
And the year is already half through
As the first half we leave
If we thrived or survived
We now enter the half that’s still new
Through God’s mercies and grace
With His kindness and love
And His bountiful blessings each day
We have come to this place
On our journey above
To reflect on our heavenward way
So let’s stop and recount
All the things God has done
And let’s praise Him with joy and a song
For His gifts we can’t count
And our triumph He won
So let’s worship Him all the day long
Then let’s think of the things
We have learned on the way
From the troubles that plagued us as well
For the troublesome stings
Teach our feet not to stray
And make lessons we’re meant to retell
Such a passing review
Gives us strength that’s restored
As we pause to remember and pray
For this year that’s half through
Is a gift from the Lord
And He’s with us each step of the way
