The First of The Year Lyrics

It's the first of the year, a new day begun We gather our hearts, united as one

The ground we will lay, with hands I will give To serve the broken, to help others live

We give, we serve, we lift you our way Bringing hope where there's need, to the lost, to the lame

In love we pour out, our mission is clear To build your kingdom on this first of the year

Where the weary have fallen, we'll answer their cry For the blessing we've known, it won't pass them by

Let mercy be sown, like seeds in the field With every small act, may your glory be revealed

We give, we serve, we lift you our way Bringing hope where there's need, to the lost, to the lame

In love we pour out, our mission is clear To build your kingdom on this first of the year

Let this year be a song of grace Where love and kindness fill every place

Our hands, our hearts, all that we do We give this year, Lord, wholly to you

We give, we serve, we lift you our way Bringing hope where there's need, to the lost, to the lame

In love we pour out, our mission is clear To build your kingdom on this first of the year

On this first of the year

It's the first of the year, our hearts we renew We give and we love, Lord, all unto you
