New Morning’s Light

History

The ‘new-life-in-Christ’ feel of this song might betray the fact that it was written in the early days of our music ministry (not sure why it didn’t make it onto the first Jerry & Sandi CD). We dusted the song off several years ago and made some arrangement and lyric edits. We can’t imagine not sharing it today.

Lyrics

Like waking to a beautiful dream in a new morning’s light

A new life unfolds before me like a blind man receiving sight

I could hear Him knocking upon the door of my heart

But my foolish pride was keeping us apart

I would still deny Him for so many years

Until His love melted my stone-cold heart to tears

(chorus) And now I know the one who made me, He is the one who saved me

He’s come to live inside me, His love has set me free

And Jesus is my strength, He is my very life

Now I can love my brother, He is the reason why

And I will follow him wherever He may lead

O Lord I want to thank Thee for all You’ve done for me

I’m walking on the narrow path following Him day by day

And even through the darkest valley my Lord leads me all of the way

God will not forsake me, He will never leave

Upon his only Son I have believed

His Spirit lives inside me helping me to walk in His ways

I rest in Him and I lift my heart in praise

(chorus)

For all You’ve done, for all You’ve done, for all You’ve done for me

For all You’ve done, for all You’ve done

I will thank You Lord, I will thank You Lord

Like waking to a beautiful dream in a new morning’s light
