The Playlist #8: New Year

At first, you may think it strange to come up with southern gospel songs dealing with the New Year holiday.  Of course, the holiday itself is not a subject of any gospel song I know.  But we can find many gospel songs that talk about the things we think about when a new year comes.

For a Christian, the New Year is a time first to look back at, remember, and celebrate what the Lord has done in the previous year.  It’s a time to look forward to and get excited about what He may do in the next year.  Finally, for many of us, it’s a time to make or renew commitments to the Lord’s service.  Now we can come up with some songs, right?

Here is my New Year playlist.  What are some songs you can think of that would fit?
