This is the year, this is the day, this is the hour To open your heart, to open your mind, to open and refuse to cower Christ has given us the power, the right, the freedom to become the sons of the most high To overcome sin, to overcome self, to overcome death and the mournful cry See his face, see his mercy, see his grace and receive His love, his friendship, his joy, his ability to believe He came for the lost, for the weak, for the down and out He came to deliver, to heal, to raise the dead with a shout So do not fear, do not doubt, do not waver at the thought Of placing your hope, your trust, your faith in what Christ has wrought This is the moment, this is the time to turn around and leave the world behind Life's clock is winding down, the hourglass overturned, what will he find The race is not to the swift or strong, to the proud or haughty It doesn't matter if your ten or twenty or over forty Time is running out, the door is closing, don't be left out Decide today, decide to stay, close to Jesus and what he's all about Resolutions are made at year's end Almost all forgotten, only one does a message send Christ the way, the truth, the life, the savior who suffered, bled, and died With wisdom on his lips and on a cross was crucified So make the most of this opportunity to make a change By letting Jesus your destiny to arrange He knows better than you what it will take To become like him and a holy man make So say yes to Jesus now and offer him the best And my lord, my God will take care of all the rest Happy New Year amen |
