all glory be to Christ.

This New Years we started a new tradition, singing "All Glory Be To Christ" as the clock strikes midnight.

The tune is set to the traditional New Years song, "Auld Lang Syne," but the words communicate someone infinitely more glorious:

Should nothing of our efforts stand
No legacy survive
Unless the Lord does raise the house
In vain its builders strive 

To you who boast tomorrow's gain
Tell me, what is your life?
A mist that vanishes at dawn
All glory be to Christ 

All glory be to Christ our King
All glory be to Christ
His rule and reign will ever sing
All glory be to Christ 

His will be done, His kingdom come
On earth as is above
Who is Himself our daily bread
Praise Him the Lord of Love 

Let living water satisfy
The thirsty without price
We'll take a cup of kindness yet
All glory be to Christ 

All glory be to Christ our King
All glory be to Christ
His rule and reign will ever sing
All glory be to Christ 

When on that day the great I AM
The faithful and the true
The Lamb who was for sinners slain
Is making all things new 

Behold our God shall live with us
And be our steadfast light
And we shall e'er His people be
All glory be to Christ 

All glory be to Christ our King
All glory be to Christ
His rule and reign will ever sing
All glory be to Christ

If anything good happens to you this year, it is because Jesus was gracious to you, therefore, "All glory be to Christ."

If you meet any of your "new year's resolutions" this year, it is because Jesus helped you, therefore,  "All glory be to Christ."

All glory be to Christ.
