“”22 Because of the LORD’s loving devotion we are not consumed,

for His compassions never fail.

23 They are new every morning;

great is Your faithfulness!

24 “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,

“therefore I will hope in Him.””— Lamentations 3 

May The Tempest’s Cruelty Subside

“May the storms you have sailed into

be ending

And calmer winds and waters lay ahead of you

May the tragic paths in the Tempest’s cruelty subside

And your sorrows thru these trials

Be turned into joyful peace

And the coming year the Lord appease

May He see you thru the dark waters

And light your way back to the Rock’s foundation

Where the Glorious Light on the Hill of Grace and mercy

Shine so bright that your rudder follows toward calm

waters where peace is still

And your tears wiped away by the Great Healer

Happy and blessed New Year”—Oscar Roca
