A BRIGHT NEW DAY......


AT THE OLD COUNTRY CHURCH
AS I KNELT AT THE ALTER
TEARS STREAMED DOWN MY FACE
AS I ASK FORGIVENESS FROM THE FATHER

AND AS I STOOD BACK UP
A CHANGE CAME OVER ME
I KNEW I'D BEEN FORGIVEN
I FELT HIS GRACE AND MERCY

ALL MY BURDENS LIFTED
I FELT HIS LOVE SURROUND
MY HEART SEEMED TO FLY
AS MY TEARS CAME FALLING DOWN

HE TOOK ME OUT OF BONDAGE
MY SPIRIT HE SET FREE
HE GAVE ME PEACE AND HOPE
I KNOW HE'LL NEVER LEAVE ME

AT HIS FEET I LAY MY TROUBLES
MY SORROWS AND MY FEARS
THE LORD TAKES EACH ONE
AND WIPES AWAY MY TEARS

THERE'S STILL THORNS AMONG THE ROSES
STILL COMES THE RAINY DAYS
BUT INSTEAD OF FEARS AND WORRY
I GET ON MY KNEES AND PRAY

I KNOW THROUGH ALL MY TROUBLES
THE LORD SHALL LEAD THE WAY
TO OVERCOME EACH PROBLEM
AND BRIGHTEN EACH NEW DAY
