A New Year’s Faithful Hope

Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

The clock strikes twelve, the old year fades,
A path unknown, yet brightly paved.
With faith as guide, we face the way,
Trusting God’s light in each new day.

Through trials past, we’ve come to see,
His strength sustains, sets captives free.
What lies ahead, we cannot know,
But His grace ensures we’ll grow.

Hope rises like the morning sun,
A promise new, the journey begun.
With each small step, we hold Him near,
Our burdens light, our hearts sincere.

No fear shall cloud the days to come,
For God’s great plans are never undone.
Each moment woven, His love remains,
Through joy and sorrow, loss and gain.

So lift your eyes to skies so wide,
And walk with trust at His side.
The future bright, a gift to embrace,
With faith and hope, His endless grace.

A new year starts, a sacred chance,
To live, to love, to truly advance.
In His hands, all things align,
Guided by hope, and love divine.
