I was glad to be over yesterday-it seemed to never end
It seemed I didn't have a place-a meaning or a friend
I tried to put my problems in the capable hands of God
but I seemed to take the wrong road on any path I trod

 

I looked hard for the sunshine and proverbial rainbow hues
but I kept telling myself it wasn't there-to keep seeking, there's no use
I went to bed despondent, and slept fitfully all night through
I dreaded to see the morning's light-that this day would challenge me too

 

In the very early morning I heard God's gentle voice say
Peace, be still, my child
It's the dawning of a new day
Notice the sunlight, silver on the trees
Hear the bird's new song
Breathe in the clear, crisp morning air-today, nothing will go wrong


I knew that I could make it and I tucked my troubles away
I was going to start all over with the dawning of a new day
There was no more fear left in my heart-God had wiped away my fright
and I was so looking forward now
to the next dawn's early light
