verse 1)
Over the years there's been times to recall
there were times when the road was rough and tough
but we thank you Lord for your guidance through the years and for friends that we've met
and for memories we've shared
(bridge)
the year that passed
You've blessed us through our times of need,
For your unfailing love, the peace you gave when sorrow comes our way
(chorus)
Father we thank you for the year that has been gone
we thank you God for the love you've sent to earth
and for the blood you shed for us on the cross
and this new year we pray that God you lead the way
And bless our hearts and bless our friends
take us through in all your care
(verse 2)
In this new year we don't know what lies ahead
it is uncertain only God you know the way
so take our hearts and lives and bless us through with all again
May be learn to trust you more and live for you each day
