A New Day Dawns ...

The sun begins to rise, a new day dawns

The morning dew is sparkling on the ground

The darkness of the night is quickly put to flight

As golden beams of light shine all around

As the new day dawns, I leave the past behind:

All the disappointments and the pain.

The joys I will cherish, from the tears I will grow,

As by faith I journey on in Jesus’ name.

A sense of expectation fills the air

My heart responds as birds begin to sing

Just like the potter’s clay we are given each new day -

A precious gift to mould and shape for Him.

Your mercies are new every morning

Your grace will supply all my needs

Yesterday has gone, Lord, help me now press on

To run the race that You prepared for Me
