O Lord beyond compare,

Thou art good when thou givest,

when thou takest away,

when the sun shines upon me,

when night gathers over me.

Thy goodness has been with me during another year,

leading me through a twisting wilderness…

Thy goodness will be with me in the year ahead;

I hoist sail and draw up anchor,

With thee as the blessed Pilot of my future

as of my past.

I bless thee that thou has veiled my eyes to the waters ahead.

If thou hast appointed storms of tribulation, 

thou wilt be with me in them;

If I have to pass through tempests of persecution and tempation,

I shall not drown;

If I am to die,

I shall see thy face the sooner;

If a painful end is to be my lot,

grant me grace that my faith fail not;

If I am to be cast aside from the service I love,

I can make no stipulation;

Only glorify thyself in me whether in comfort or trial, 

as a chosen vessel meet always for thy use.

Just as the cross was not the end of the story, neither is the resurrection. He is still resurrecting this dead world, this dead heart.
