"A Year In His Hands"

As I sit here and ponder the coming year
There's excitement, doubt, concern, and fear

A mountain of bills and little income
Asking from where my provision will come

Just how will I meet the most basic needs
With rent, the car, and the family to feed

Will I be homeless before the years end
Could there be someone on which to depend

Government money will quickly run out
The economy broke, riddled with doubt

My family and friends, problems the same
They're hurting for money with nothing to claim

Reading the story, Five loaves and two fish
Seeing the answer is more than a wish

Will I receive, Christ's provision and care
Through good times and bad, believe that he's there

Thus, will I step out in faith and expect
That my pressing needs, by God will be met

New Years resolution, trust and obey
God is the potter I am the clay
