Mysterious New Year
So wrapped in reserve and surprise
You have no reason to feel smug
Or even condescending.
After all, the majestic God
Has full knowledge of you
Just as He has of me.
There is not an issue that you can evade.
Furthermore, you are powerless
To do anything to me
That God does not permit.
All He allows in His infinite wisdom
Is for my ultimate good
And His greatest glory.
Consequently, New Year
You cannot trick or disillusion me
By your baffling unexplainables
Or your feverish activity.
My times are in the hands
Of my Sovereign God
Whose power is limitless
And whose love for me is everlasting.
