New Year's Resolutions

Happy New Year! Finally, I have found resolutions that I am commited to keeping. These may sound a bit familiar to some of you...

Adapted from "I Am Resolved" by Palmer Hartsough

"I resolve to no longer to linger, to be charmed by the world's delight.
Things that are higher, things that are nobler... these allure my sight

I will hasten to Him, where I am glad and free.
Jesus, greatest, highest, He is the One to whom I will run.

I resolve to go to the Savior to leave my sin and strife.
Because He is the true one, the just one, and He has the words of life

I resolve to follow this Savior who is faithful and true each day.
I will endeavor to heed what He says, to do what He wills because He is the living way.

I resolve to enter the kingdom and leave the paths of sin. My friends and family, they may oppose me, and my foes may beset me, but still will I enter in.

I am so resolved! So, who will go with me? Come friends don't delay.
Those who follow Him are taught by the Bible, led by the Spirit, and will walk the heavenly way."

What'd you resolve for this year?
