We’ve Made It

 

 

We’ve made it

Through another year,

By God’s mercy and compassion

We are here.

 

We’ve made it

Though oft encumbered,

With life’s many aches and pains

And constant danger.

 

We’ve made it

Despite the naysayers

And we owe this to Jesus Christ

Our Saviour.

 

Who shepherded us

All along life’s way

And brought us back to himself

Those times we strayed.

 

 

 

We’ve made it

And conscious of it too,

We’ve got a lot to be thankful for;

Both me and you.

 

We’ve made it

God being our helper

For without him we can do nothing

Now or ever.

 

We give Him thanks

For bringing us through

And we ask His continual help

In all we have to do.

 

 

 

So, Happy New Year

To both friend and foe

Bearing in mind if considered foe

I wouldn’t know.

 

To me you are friend.
