may we filter every thought

may we filter every thought,

every word, every action this year

through the question,

“what would Jesus do?,

throughout this whole year

may we live out the words

of the song remember

may they will know

everyone, everywhere

that we are Christians by our love

may we seek to acknowledge

the presence of God with us

what God has done and

what God is doing in our lives

here and right now

may we breathe in

this gospel story, slowly,

deeply, this new year

sharing the hope, the joy,

throughout the world
