My New Years Resolution

Happy New Year!!

January is the time of year when everyone makes resolutions for the New Year. As I have taken time to think of New Years resolutions for myself I realized something: I don't like making New Years Resolutions; which is probably why I usually don't make them and the few times I did, I didn't keep them.

In the weeks following Christmas an old Keith Green song that I loved as a kid kept coming to my mind. I have found myself walking around the house singing it and then I really started thinking about the words. And one day while I was singing and thinking about the words, I had a another realization: This year I was not going to make a New Years resolution, I was going to make a Life Time resolution.

I have been praying the words of this song...it really is my hearts desire!

Make my life a prayer to You

I wanna do what You want me to

No empty words and no white lies

No token prayers no compromise

I wanna shine the light You gave

Thru Your Son You sent to save us

From ourselves and our despair

It comforts me to know You're really there

Chorus:

Well I wanna thank You now

For being patient with me

Oh it's so hard to see

When my eyes are on me

I guess I'll have to trust

And just believe what You say

Oh you're coming again

Coming to take me away

I wanna die and let You give

Your life to me so I might live

And share the hope You gave me

The love that set me free

I wanna tell the world out there

You're not some fable or fairy tale

That I've made up inside my head

You're God the Son and You've risen from the dead

Chorus

I wanna die and let You give

Your life to me so I might live

And share the hope You gave me

The love that set me free
