A New Year a new resolution,
Or is it rather a revolution?
But what will reformation do
When I need transformation?

I pray Lord, for regeneration
Come from a New Creation.
Where the old goes from death
And the new comes from your strength-
Resurrection from dead works
That will never ever work.

I make the promises year in year out
But when it’s time to do, I bow out.
I start and soon I lack the will and quit.
Give me the strength this time to do it.
Weaken my weaknesses in Your view
and strengthen my strength in you.

I rest in you to wrest me
From the beast in me
That wants me to wallow
In the mire that cast a shadow
To your glory and your praise
To you my hands I raise.

May this be a New Year
and a New me in Your care.
Walking in your light
In the day and at night.
