Resolution each new year
Things we pledge without a fear
Yet no one knows what comes tomorrow
Joy, fulfilled hopes or sorrow
When the calendar turns the page
And we look toward a new age
Why is it that we start again
We go in cycles to no end
Twelve more months there's nothing new
But we enchant ourselves we're blind to truth
And so we, starry eyed, dream large
Of thing's we'll do though we aren't in charge
And no one knows their length of days
Before great loss we proclaim "come what may!"
We trick ourselves that our own might
Is quite enough to fight this fight
This battleland of tears and sighs
And aching so deep we can't describe
We toil throughout the entire year
Yet look on in hope to "good drawing near"
But what if good doesn't ever come
And all our days are spent alone
What if we, in a crowd, feel like
Something's missing and just not right
Oh soul, you're branded with a sign
There's nothing here to satisfy
No matter how many turning leaves
Bewitch us into false belief
That just because a new year's here
Our troubles will all disappear
They will not end- not here not now
Out trouble's meant to show us how
Just how we long for so much more
With brokenness crying to be restored
Oh soul, you'll never find enough
To quench your thirst, to fill your cup
Beacuse you, soul, are not of earth
You were made for second birth
Oh Jesus, that is what, it's who You are
My bright and shining Morning Star
The One who lived as just a man
You felt our pains and so You can
You can bring comfort through our pain
You understand hurts we can't explain
You died our death-once- for all
You redeemed us from the fall
And now You prepare a place for me
That forever where I am is where You want to be
All longing, sighing tears will cease
The agony and fears released
And everlasting joy will stay
That's so much more than New Year's Day
Things we pledge without a fear
Yet no one knows what comes tomorrow
Joy, fulfilled hopes or sorrow
When the calendar turns the page
And we look toward a new age
Why is it that we start again
We go in cycles to no end
Twelve more months there's nothing new
But we enchant ourselves we're blind to truth
And so we, starry eyed, dream large
Of thing's we'll do though we aren't in charge
And no one knows their length of days
