A whole new day confronts me now
With challenges to meet.
I will go forth with confidence,
Without delusions or defeat.
My Lord is here beside me
As I strive to forge ahead
With utmost optimism
On the pathways where I tread.
I will not let adversity
Allow my faith to quell;
I’ll lean upon my lord this day
Trusting… all goes well.
This whole new day holds promises
I will conquer and achieve.
I cannot fail nor foster fear
When I continue to believe.
I know that yesterday is gone–
Not to dwell on failures past,
I’ll make the most of every hour
Long as this day will last.
I will take pride in all I do,
My values redefined,
This day will be exemplified,
For God controls my heart and mind.
A whole new day He gives to me,
Fresh and new and free from sins.
My life restored… God’s love prevails…
I smile and rejoice as this new day begins.
