Another year has just gone by
So swiftly do the moments fly
A year with plenty of pain and woe
I look back as I onward go
And recall with memories sweet and clear
Experiences which have grown so dear
A year of learning, I now can see
All that You were teaching me
My heart does fill with thanks and praise
To You Lord, for the painful days
I spent because I had to learn
Right from wrong, Your will discern.
Days spent in utter agony
To see Your will more plaintively
For all You’ve done to strengthen me.
I thank you Lord, unceasingly
I pray that You would always be
Very near and dear to me
To lead and guide me all the way,
Until we meet that glorious day!
Written October 1975
