For many, this year will not end on a high note…
Right now, somewhere,
Someone is about to lose hope
Right now, somewhere,
Someone is just trying to cope
Making it to midnight’s been a struggle
And they’re at the end of the rope
Barely afloat –
Helplessly failing as the water gets higher
And the last 24 hours
Sets the soul on fire…
The losses, crosses, addictions, divorces;
Hearts heavy from the waiting
And the ominous voices
Telling you to “force quit”
Because a promising future
Does not compute
Just more of the same
Of what you won’t get
‘Cause obviously you were born to lose
Two thousand and thirteen:
Year of the Serpent –
And he’s hissing in your ears
Convincing you that you’re worthless
Take heart and know
That the enemy’s already been defeated
No matter what tomorrow brings
The blood of Christ has already succeeded
Don’t be afraid –
Say welcome to midnight with open arms
Because the Son was crushed
Rest assured that joy
Is gonna come in the morning
“For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime.
Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.”
- Psalm 30:5 ESV
Soli Deo Gloria,
(And a Happy New Year!!)
