Loving
God maker of heaven and earth
We join together this morning to praise you
We enter your gates with thanksgiving
And into your courts with praise
You are eternal with no beginning or end
You made us, and you are working your
purposes out in our world and our lives
Know that the Lord is God
We praise you in this New Year
We praise you that what ever the future
holds we know that it is held in your hands.
The LORD is God he made us and we are his
We look back at this past year
We see that you have been with us, provided
for us and lead us in your ways
We are your people and the flock for which you provide
We praise you for Jesus Christ
We
have celebrated at Christmas that you became one of us, you pitched your tent
in our neighborhood
That you live amongst us and showed us your
great love and mercy, that you gave your life for ours paying the price for all
we have done wrong,
and in being raised to life again have
given us fresh beginnings and new life in you
For the Lord is Good
We look forwards this New Year
Unable to see beyond the next bend or over
the horizon
Yet we prepared to follow you our times are
in your hands
The steadfast love of the lord endures
forever
His faithfulness to all generations
We confess our sins to you
We have done what we should not do and left
undone what We should do
We have either thought too highly of
ourselves and not cared enough for others
We have thought too little of ourselves and
allowed ourselves to be written off as worthless
Forgive us LORD
As we have confessed our sins God is
faithful and just and has forgiven us our sins and cleansed us from all
unrighteousness
We give thanks and bless your name
Thank you that you send your spirit upon us
to lead us into all truth and to empower us to live and witness to you.
May we be filled a fresh this new year to
follow you more closely and share your love with the world around us
We worship the Lord with gladness
Father, sSn and Holy Spirit
prayer for the new year
