A new year, a fresh start..On pages clean and white
I surrender the pen, dearest Lord
Your Will for my life
Please freely write..
One thing I desire to do, Lord,
Is to forget those things that are past
Reaching towards things ahead,
Things of eternal value that will last.
Lord, help me press toward Your mark
The prize of Your high calling
In Christ Jesus awaits.
Focussed and ever progressing
Towards Your plans and purposes
So glorious and great.
He is truly great; who is great in the love of God.
He is truly great, who is humble in mind, and regards earth's higher honors as nothing.
He is truly wise who counts all earthly things as dung, in order that he may win Christ.
And he is truly learned, who renounces his own will for the will of God.
~ Thomas à Kempis
