"Thank you Lord for giving me the brand new year ahead.
Help me to 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 might 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 may 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."
