On the hill where our church stands whispers of grace
Dance through the building with a gentle embrace,
Highland Baptist Church stands, adorned with light,
Welcoming the dawn of a new year's first sight.
Organ bells ring out with a joyous chime,
Echoing through the neighborhood transcending time.
With each peal, a blessing, pure and sincere,
Announcing the arrival of a hopeful new year.
Congregation gathers 'neath the lofty spire,
Hearts aglow with love, souls set afire.
Candles flicker like stars in the night,
Guiding each prayer with their tender light.
Voices unite in hymns of praise,
Singing of yesterday's trials and tomorrow's rays.
Children's laughter dances in the pews,
Their innocent joy painting the air in myriad hues.
Pastor Jeff speaks with wisdom, gentle and wise,
Reflecting the dreams that in each heart lie.
Hope for unity, faith to endure,
Trust in the love that makes mankind pure.
In prayerful silence and communal peace,
The old year's burdens gently release.
And in each soul, a fresh seed is sown,
As Highland celebrates, together, yet alone.
A New Year dawns with the promise anew,
With God's light guiding the paths they pursue.
In Highland Baptist, the spirit soars high,
Embracing the future with a grateful sigh.
So here's to the rhythm of the years we embrace,
The circle of life with God's amazing grace.
Highland Baptist stands as a beacon bright,
Guiding all souls into the New Year's light.
