Newness redone

Newness redone

Little babies wrapped in pink or blue

 Each breath and moment filled with new.

Christmas morning excitement in the air,

Anticipation of presents to share.

The New Year rolling in

Hopes that something different will begin.

Tomorrow another day

The Promise that it will carry your “now” away.

The awakening Christian come to prayer;

Releasing all to the savior no need to despair

Repentant of life in review,

His Mercy’s dawn each day into view.

 Instead clinging to our lost possibilities

Looking backward at our deficiencies

 This ever elusive

Jesus love, feeling always exclusive.

Fresh beginnings hopeful in thought,

But doubts and lies a constant onslaught.

With Jesus, non to compare,

Restoration to be declared,

Every day and everywhere.

Eternal truth upheld

God’s abundant mercies unparalleled.
