AS I CLOSE THE DOOR


Dear Lord, as I close the door on the old year,

I ponder the things I've done...

the things I've said and the joys I've had

I wonder, have I lost or won?


I've thought of new friends I have made,

and the old ones, staunch and true...

the paths of the old year made easier, Lord,

because I have walked them with You


I think of all the many times,

when my burdens were so heavy to bear,

and how my faith slipped away from me

but somehow You were always there


Now, as I open the door to this New Year,

and carefully peep inside,

I wonder what it holds for me...

but I'll throw the door open wide.


Whatever it brings to me and mine,

I'll meet it with a heart so true...

I know that, Lord, whatever it may be,

You'll be there to carry me through
