A Chaplain on How to Talk About the Right to Die and Death With Patients — TIME
Another year is dawning and we’re so grateful to be here
Though many loved ones have left us God has caused us to persevere
Through dangers seen and unseen, we’ve traveled through the days
We’ve fought hard life’s battles empowered by God’s grace
We’ll see another year of mercies, of service, God’s faithfulness and praise
We’ll rise in mind and soul and strength to help each other be present
And believe that change is possible as another year dawns for us
We’ll quench the fiery darts of Satan’s bow and quell the roar of our loudest foe
We’ll strive for excellence and achieve the heights no one thought to believe
Another decade is dawning, as swift as time transitions
We dare to accept the challenges knowing not what lies ahead
We’ll walk by faith and not by sight assured that God will keep us right
With liberating freedom filling our soul and
the light of God’s knowledge in our sight
We’ll press unselfishly ahead above the noise of human’s selfish strife
A new decade is upon us. New opportunities to do greater things
Serving our present age with haste our mission to fulfil
With grateful hearts in this new year and decade, we’ll do our master’s will
