25.  I MEDITATE ON THE YEAR

                     I meditate on the year that has gone by,
                    Making a balance of the things I've done,
                        It is very clear, it's also very real,
                 That I have not known how to do what is God's will.
                                CHORUS
                        Now I stand upon the balance,
                   And I find a lack before the eyes of the Lord,
                   But in His great goodness, He reaches for me,
                     For He wants to give me an opportunity.
                        (FINALE): A coming new year.
                                  2
                  I come before You, Lord, humbled at Your feet,
                      I come to ask forgiveness for my sins;
                   For I acknowledge that pride within my heart.
                   It has hindered me in the quest for holiness.
                                  3
                    So like the fig tree I'm given one more year,
                    The one in charge has made it his request.
                     For the coming year a fruit shall appear;
                 For then from the garden the Lord will cut me off.

                26.  SITTING AT THE FEET OF JESUS

              Sitting at the feet of Jesus, oh, what Words I hear Him say!
            Happy place! So near so precious! May it find me there each day;
                Sitting at the feet of Jesus, I would look upon the past.
             For His love has been so gracious, it has won my heart at last.
                                  2
              Sitting at the feet of Jesus, where can mortal be more blest?
            There I lay my sins and sorrows, and when weary find sweet rest;
               Sitting at the feet of Jesus, there I love to weep and pray,
             While I from His fullness gather grace and comfort every day.
