Another year older, another year wiser
Another chance to be better
New Year is here so let's all cheer
Working to keep all we hold so dear
We hope to see each other face to face
And person to person
We hope that family and friends stay
Healthy and safe
We banish worry, doubt and fear
They have no place, no hold here
We hold joy, and love and peace in our heart
Tearing down walls that keep us apart
May this year bring you many great days
To see the world anew in wonderful ways
Look again with the eyes of a child
Full of wonder both free and wild
May peace fill your world and your home
And love go with you wherever you roam
Friends as your anchor in the raging storm
Family a lighthouse to bring you safe to shore
Blessings to you and yours in the New Year!

Coffee

Rise and rub your eyes
Get your engines started now
Morning cup of Joe

Cookies

Cookies are so sweet
Made of dough they are rising
Cookies: Yum! Yum! Yum!

Walk with me and I'll walk with you
In storm and shine and through it all
I'll be there to catch you when you fall
Together is where we are
Together forever though near or far
Call out to me and I'll be at your side
I'll travel the world so far and wide
Think of me and I'll think of you
Reach out and feel my hand in yours
There is no greater love so strong
So pure and true and so long
Just look up, breathe in, and smile
The same stars stretch across the miles
Standing under the same moon and sky
Reflecting the light from within your eyes
The waves match the beat of your heart
As my own heart pounds in my chest
We breathe in the cool night air
Riding the breeze, I'm already there
Can you feel me, can you hear me?
So far away, as close as a breath
Loud as the tempest, soft as a whisper
No matter what happens
No matter where we are
We are as one, you and I
Even without touching
Never Far

You are the cornerstone, the living rock upon which I build my foundation of faith, the spiritual house for the spirit of the Lord to indwell.

There is a way to the Father.
There is a way through the Son.
Open my eyes to see you,
Open my heart to the truth.
He will prepare a place we can stay.
To stay close to His heart is to live forever.

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God, have faith also in me."
"I will take you to myself that where I am you may also be."

Have mercy on me in your goodness and grace
Wash me of my guilt and from my sin erase
I know of my misdeeds for they are a shadow
Wherever I walk they are sure to follow
It is you that I rejected, you that I denied
It was for my sin that you were crucified
I am guilty and your judgement is right
Never was there a time I was blameless in your sight
Still, you impart wisdom and the need for sincerity
A humble spirit and a heart of great integrity
Sprinkle me with your healing waters Lord
Wash me in the flow of your precious blood
Drown me in the waves of your mercy
Cleanse me in your life-giving flood
That I may be pure, that I may be as holy as I ought
That I may be whiter than snow by a lot
Open my ears Lord to hear your voice
And, out of my suffering, I will rejoice

Have mercy on me in your goodness and grace
Look not on my sin, and from my guilt erase
Create in me a clean heart Oh Lord
Renew within me a stout spirit
Cast me not from your presence Lord
Nor from me withdraw your Holy Spirit
But restore the joy of my salvation
That I would witness to the nations
The saving power of God and His mighty love
that they too may repent and join in Heaven above
Rescue me Oh God from sin and death
That I may sing of your saving power
My lips will proclaim with every breath
Every second, every moment, every hour
You do not desire outward sign of sacrifice
That alone does not fulfill the price
You require a right attitude, a humble and contrite heart
That is how the changes can finally start

Bring your kingdom here that all peoples my come
And find a place of peace, healing, and reconciliation

Trust me, I am all you need
Call out to me and know I will heed
Your cries. I will answer your prayers.
Come before me and cast your cares
Lay them down at the foot of the cross
Salvation and freedom I offer at no cost
They are a gift to you because I love you
I want what's best for you, I'm telling you the truth
Trust that I am right, and I won't lead you wrong
When you're at your weakest, I will be strong
Just be still and know this one thing:
Know that I am God, your friend and king

Hold me in your heart of hearts
Wrap me in your sweet embrace
To the place that I regard
My hideaway, my secret place
Won't you hold me
Hold me close to your chest
Sweet peace enfold me
While I lay down to rest
Take me further than before
Draw me deeper into you
There is nothing I want more
Than to be wrapped up in you

I know you are here with me
In this time and in this place
In this moment, in this space
Be with me now as I seek you always
Be with me always as we speak now
Tender heart so full of pure love
I sing praise to Him who is above

Uniting our prayers with Heaven's Holy Queen
Who, as a mother, understands most keen
Our joys and sorrows and fears beside
And walks with us a spiritual guide
Just as Jesus came to us through his mother
So, through her, we come to Him
