New tune for New Year

As my attempts to compose continue, here are the words of a song I am currently working on music for:

1.
So it’s out with the old,
and in with the new.
But there’s one thing that always remains…
That’s the love of our Lord,
Which stays with us all
Through our lives – through our pleasures and pains.

As our new year begins,
May your love never change;
May your word guide us on for all time.

2.
Now that Christmas has passed –
When your birth has been marked,
May the thought of your presence bring joy.
May the story live on,
That God’s love did come down
As a delicate infant; a boy…

As our new year begins,
May your love never change;
May your word guide us on for all time…
