Another year

Another year has past, and I'm still lost in a dream.

Another year is gone, and I'm still crazy so it seems.

Another year is leaving, yeah it's coming to an end.

I'm standing outside alone, just me, and my twelve steel friends.

Another year has past, and the Lord knows what I've done.

Another year is gone, for the prodigal son.

Another year is leaving, yeah it's gone for us,

so I'm standing outside alone, just twelve strings and my friend Jesus.

A new year is coming, and we can't turn it back.

A new year is starting, help us not to lack.

A new year with new chances, to do his will.

And even when we fail him, he loves us still.

He knows how weak we are, he knows what we're made of,

so we're never really alone, in his love.
