I Will Begin Again ... New Years

I'm not really overly sentimental about New Years Day. To me its just another day. I guess I do have my traditions though - going home from mission (visiting family for the day), and listening to U2's song - New Years' Day, and that lyric I...I will begin again.

Here's an excerpt from an email I received from Slice of Infinity:

Another year is dawning, dear Father, let it be
In working or in waiting, another year with Thee.
Another year of progress, another year of praise,
Another year of proving Thy presence all the days.
Another year of mercies, of faithfulness and grace,
Another year of gladness in the shining of Thy face;
Another year of leaning upon Thy loving breast;
Another year of trusting, of quiet, happy rest.
Another year of service, of witness for Thy love,
Another year of training for holier work above.
Another year is dawning, dear Father, let it be
On earth, or else in heaven, another year for Thee.
- composed by Frances Havergal as a New Year's greeting card.

These words really hit me ... Let this be our prayer for this year.
