Year’s Dawn

So often at the year’s dawn

We think of what we’ll do –

New projects and commitments,

And others to renew.

 

But what if we considered,

As well as all of these,

What we should be this new year

Our God to love and please?

 

What attitudes are ruling?

What thoughts control my heart?

Who is my King, my focus?

Is my life set apart?

 

These thoughts of godly being,

In turn will rule the do’s

So I can really keep them

Now and the whole year through.
