a hope in this moment

a hope in this moment


a hope in this moment

a new year beginning

hope for healing, for wholeness,

for a better way forward


a hope in this moment

this day, this season

that there would be a better way

a new path before us


a hope in this moment

walking with Jesus

heeding in the Spirit’s call

in each word, each action

guiding our steps - 2

guiding our steps – 2


letting the Spirit lead us

guiding our steps

letting go of the old

the words of judgment

their condemnation

fall frou your life


letting the Spirit lead us

guiding out steps

into the moment, the new year,

the new path waiting, calling

wooing us, pursuing,

seeking the best.

a clean slate, a new year


a clean slate, a new year

a new hope started

pristine, ready,

waiting for us

a new door opening.

closing the one, our past,

striving forward, faithful,

seeking after God

trusting in God’s promise

the coming of the Lord.

standing on the edge, the precipice

standing no the edge, the precipice


standing on the edge, the precipice,

ready to step out, to leap,

to walk out in faith

to follow God

the call on our lives.


standing no the edge, the precipice

this day, this new moment

holding onto God’s promise

that God will not leave or forsake you

to step out in faith.

we all receive - v3

we all receive - vv3


We all receive

God’s unmerited favor;

We don't deserve

the gift of Christmas

the grace of salvation

our eternal life.


Christ came down

the eternal made mortal

lowly, as an infant;

We bow down

before our risen Lord.


We all receive

unmerited favor;

Christ healed the breach

the sin of Adam

allowing us to come

before Almighty God.

We don't deserve the gift of Christmas - v3

We don't deserve the gift of Christmas - v3


We don’t deserve the gift of Christmas

God's free unmerited favor;

We all have sinned

following Adam’s path.


We all are broken, fallen,

following the way of the flesh;

God loved us anyway

and sent us a Savior, His only Son.


Born of the flesh, human,

that babe in the manger;

God came to redeem us;

Christ climbed our cross.
