Another Year That Came and Went
This has been another year that came and went!
I often wonder, where has my time been spent?
It seems like yesterday, we rang in the new year!
But, very quickly, it has all just “disappeared.”
I think about my accomplishments, goals and dreams.
Do they matter anymore? Do they mean anything?
This life I have, is just but a brief moment in time.
One day, I’ll simply leave everything fast behind!
My relationship with Christ is what really matters!
Everything else in life, is just “empty chatter!”
I pray that as this new year comes and goes…
My relationship with Christ will continue to grow!
The older I get, I’m beginning to see!
I need much more of Jesus, and less of me!
He is what’s needed! Whatever this year holds!
I need him more, as each year I grow old!
With each year, that comes and passes me by…
I want more of Jesus, until the day I die!
He is my friend, what is certainly needed!
With him in me, my life is completed!
Thank you Lord for this brand new year!
You are the one I’ll hold ever so dear!
