A NEW YEAR IS HERE

A new year is here and upon us at last
Now may we just rest in our new peace.
May we look ahead and forget the past
So let us come now just to reminisce
No more politicians with babies to kiss
No more campaign promises on my TV
No more boring speeches for me to see
No more talk radio show host to be rated
No more nightly newscast to be debated.
No more yelling by those who disagree
No more hands out needing a charity fee
No more fakers with hands held open wide
No more bushes in which they may hide
No more left-wingers flying in the breeze
No more right-wingers begging you please
No more outsiders just to lend an evil ear
No more evil coming just to spread fear
No more gloom, lets us now shout for joy
No more doubt, freedom we will employ
A new year is here and upon us at last
Let us all move ahead, forgetting the past

The New Year is indeed here. I can just imagine lying in the fresh new green grass, rolling in the clover, and smelling the newly sprouting flowers. (Psalm 30:11-12) Yes, I have high hopes for America, the land of the free and the home of the brave.

I feel, with the help of Almighty God, we will see great things happening in this coming year. Our God stands ready to take away all fear (2 Timothy 1:7) replacing it with joy and godly cheer. (Psalm 65:5-8)

Now if only we will revive our country’s tried and true motto, "In God We Trust.” If only we will reawaken our Declaration of Independence quote, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men (and women too) are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Above all, if only we will return to the "Old Time Religion" roots of the Gospel (1 Cor. 15:1-4), America will see a revival of truth, unequal in faith and practice, to any period in our past history. (Deuteronomy 3:34) Amen!

"Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you your heart's desire." (Psalm 37:4)
