dear Lord
when i am restless
let the tranquility
of your Spirit
the comfort of your word
the light of your love
be my peace
and still my stirring
when i am anxious
let the power
of your grace
the assurance of your sovereignty
the goodness of your will
warm the frozen fear
i feel inside
release the heart shackles
and settle my thoughts
in the river of your presence
when i am triggered
angry
let your mercy
help me remember
how much is broken in me
let your justice
be the end of my longing
let my heart be open
to you and this world
send me
as your loving healing presence
as i receive your love
and your healing
when i am lost
bring me home
when i am so sad
that light seems a memory
and hope a forgotten song
reorient my mind
reset my spirit
help me see
that the suffering is but a moment
that all i long for
awaits in your house
no more tears
no need of light
or sun
no darkness
so welcome to your new day
time to tell your story
time to give yourself away
let go of the worry
and why so much hurry
time to slow down
what story will you tell
this day
so welcome to your new day
don’t compare and don’t stare
at all the insta-images
that sometimes just won’t dare
to be real and to say
i’m who i am
occasionally stumbling
always broken
anxiety has stolen some joy
but i’m who i am
loved by God
an image bearer
of my Creator
i am here
on this new day
so see the Light
who makes wrongs right
and mends our hurting souls
He lifts our heads
shows us the way
each time we go astray
He forgives
welcome to your new day
let go of that worry
don’t hurry
past the Light
on this new day
another day to cry
so many whys
we can weep
together
another day to dance
its okay
take a chance
we can hold each other
another day to dream
close your eyes
and see the light
come to chase away
all the darkness
in our hearts
can we just start
again
on this new day
its okay
don’t say a word
we can
just be
another day
to take a breath
and rest
we can see
each other
we can hear
each other
and be
together
another
day
it’s not going to be okay
at least not in the way
we want it to be
okay won’t do today
longing for so much more
it’s not going to be okay
at least not in the way
we want it to be
the sorrow stays
my heart is sure
there is a place
where tears will end
okay then when
will that day be
it’s not going to be okay
at least not in the way
we want it to be
there’s a promise
for you and for me
surrender will be
all on our knees
finally
light will be
all we see
light will be
all we see
dear God
really glad you're here
i'll receive all you have for me
with gratitude
for i know this new day
is a gift from You
so today
if i see a hurting soul
let me be a comfort
so today
if someone hurts me
let me be grace and forgiveness
so today
if i stumble in word or deed
please help me
change me
on this new day
make me new
on this new day
