It’s a New Year

It’s a New Year

Verse 1:
Leave the past where it belongs, let it go,
Drop the weight, no looking back, let’s roll.
There’s more ahead for you and me,
Lay it down, shake it off, step free.

Chorus:
Hallelujah!
Hands up high, yeah, it’s a New Year.
Sing Hallelujah!
Hands up high, yeah, it’s a New Year.

Verse 2:
Don’t stop, let the rhythm play, no fear,
Stand strong — God’s got you here.
Stay alert, get your grind in line,
But guard your heart, protect your mind. Ha!

Some folks act friendly, smiling wide,
But inside they mmm mmm.
So pray each day and thank the Lord above,
’Cause they won’t stop plotting that mmm mmm. Chorus

Verse 3:
Alright, no need to lose control,
Just nod your head, thank God for what He’s done.
Alright, I see you move a little now,
Still nod your head, thank God for His love. Chorus
