For a Brand-New Day

Thank You, God, for a brand-new day;
And thank You for the chance to say
Those loving words that yesterday
I left unsaid, and went my way.
Thank You, God, for a brand-new day.
For showing me a better way
To share Your love and kindness show
So folk may see in me Your glow.
Thank You, God, for a brand-new day.
Be skies bright blue or stormy grey
Whatever comes is sent by You
And by Your grace I'll make it through.
Thank You, God, for a brand-new day.
I will rejoice and not dismay.
I will be glad and lift above
My heart's praise for Your wondrous love.
Thank You, God, for a brand-new day.
May I cherish it, God, I pray;
And hear me as again I say:
Thank You, God, for a brand-new day!
