Sun rise slow on a brand-new day
Old tears washed by the light of grace
We’ve been low, yeah we’ve paid our dues
But the road still shines when we walk with You
Calendar turn, but the truth still stands
Love is the work, put our hands to the land
From broken streets to the dinner line
Hope still moves when the heart aligns
Pre-Chorus
We don’t wait for a perfect time
We move when the Spirit says “go”
Chorus
New year, new mercy fallin’ down
Same old love, just deeper now
We’re sold out, hearts wide open
Living proof of the words You’ve spoken
If we love our neighbor, we love You too
Every plate, every prayer, every thing we do
New year, same calling still
Walking forward in God’s will
Verse 2
Not chasing crowns, not chasing fame
Just trying to look like Jesus’ name
In the small acts, the unseen places
Serving meals, serving faces
Faith ain’t loud, but it sure is real
When the hungry eat and the wounded heal
What the world calls little or weak
You call mighty when love speaks
Pre-Chorus
If we pour ourselves out in the night
You promise our dawn will rise
Chorus
New year, new mercy fallin’ down
Same old love, just deeper now
We’re sold out, hearts wide open
Living proof of the words You’ve spoken
If we love our neighbor, we love You too
Every plate, every prayer, every thing we do
New year, same calling still
Walking forward in God’s will
Bridge (Reggae lift – communal, chant-able)
Light will rise in the darkest place
Hope got rhythm, grace got pace
Hands to serve, hearts aligned
Love on time, every time
If we give it away, it multiplies
Heaven shows up in a neighbor’s eyes
No fear here, no turning back
Love’s the mission—stay on track
Breakdown (Half-time, simple)
One year gone, but the promise remains
God still moves through ordinary saints
When we serve the least, we serve the King
That’s the joy this new year brings
Final Chorus (Full band, joyful)
New year, new mercy fallin’ down
Same old love, just deeper now
We’re sold out, hearts wide open
Living proof of the words You’ve spoken
If we love our neighbor, we love You too
That’s the gospel lived, not just talked through
New year, same calling still
Walking forward in God’s will
Outro (Easy fade / crowd response)
Step by step, side by side
Love our neighbor—let the light rise
New year… same calling…
Love in motion, walking on
