The Wide Open Gate

Categories: New Year

Although you may think it is too late
The Lord says, “Look up! You’ll see a gate
A gate that leads into a new year
A year when I promise to be near
Very near to you in all you do
To keep and guide you all the way through.
I’ll walk along with you every day
So you will never go astray
Leaving the way I’ve planned for you
Because I love you and you are a part
Of what is always close to my heart
People who need help to see
That I am the answer for them to be
Loved and relieved of their worry and pain
Restored to new life once again.
So continue down the narrow way
Assured I’ll be with you come what may
Together in love we’ll bring my kingdom in
Showing how I can save from sin.
Put your best foot forward starting today
The gate is wide open to the untried way
And as you move forward in my will
You’ll have peace and joy and your heart will thrill.”
