Age Old Assurance for the Newness of Now

 O God, our Help in Ages Past





Whether at the beginning of a year
the middle or the end
the bedrock of 
faith's hope, joy and peace 
remains the same; trust God

A New Year.
A New Day.
The same God
Come what may

Though the way
No one can see
Faith in God
Seals victory

God's Word like
A steadfast Hand
Leads into
The Promised Land

His Word does
Not lead astray
As we hope
And trust and pray

In the power
Of God’s might
Faith will be
Equipped to fight

Pray we never
Run this race
Without God’s
Armor in place

Then and only
Then will we
Be fitted
For what will be

Then faith will
Be undeterred
Through the power
Of God’s word

Where without God
We are weak
And we know not
What we seek

… or what master
To obey
In the newness
of Today

A new day
and a New Year
The same God
To commandeer

...the same goodness
truth and love
Fills the Unknown
with Enough

Heb.11:8
By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place 
he would later receive as his inheritance,
 obeyed and went,
 even though he did not know where he was going.
