I love the morning And how it brings New beginnings to so many things And I love the way the fear is made to let me go When the bright light takes its hold
I love the sunrise And the moving light Chasing the darkness Pushing back the night And once again I know that I am living proof That every morning it's true All your mercies are new
Chorus: This is Your day I'm going Your way I can hardly wait to see What You have in store for me today
Oh I can worry I can pace and fret Sweating the details of what's ahead But in the learning I am letting go to you And rediscovering it's true Even today, Your mercies are new
Chorus
If I find victory or pain If it's in sunshine or driving rain I will trust you and do the next thing
By Geoff Moore and Joel Hanson
Song Description: "This song has a great story. Joel Hanson and I were writing a couple years back, and we wrote a piece of music that I had never used. When I began working on the album, I wanted to listen to it again. We had been writing outside in a park up on Nashville's Natchez Trace parkway at the time and all I had was a cassette recorder. So, two years later, I found the cassette in a box and put it in the player and the tape deck completely ate the tape. I threw it away and called Joel to see if he had another copy. Not only didn't he have a copy, but neither of us could remember one note of what we had written. I dug the tape out of the trash and, after looking all over town, I found an old cassette that matched the broken one. I spliced the tape together with scotch tape and was able to get one play out of it, enough to make a copy. That became the music for "Your Day." Some of the people whose faith journey I admire the most all have something in common. They live expectantly. I'm trying to do that. Looking at each day as a new beginning and looking for what God is up to and wanting to be a part of it. I stole a line from Oswald Chambers that I love. When faced with uncertainty and unsure what to do next, he encourages us to "trust God and do the next thing."" - Geoff Moore
