Making Promises Each New Year
O Lord, we don't deserve anything
because of our sinful ways.
Although we try to please You
each of our days.

Many people make promises each New Year
using Your name they hope to end bad habits.
Some overcome those habits and
praise god on His throne where He sits.

Others fall right back into their same old ways
and Satan cheers.
Let us band together this year 2009
and be humble, reverent and throw away our fears.

Because when we stand with God - who
can overcome us? There is no one!
Not even the Evil One.  We can still stand
because of God's Son.

Let's thank our Lord, this New Year,
for His tender touch and His might.
Fear Not! You can overcome your bad habits
every day and every night.
