You Are The New Day Poem by Danny Speicher

You are the new day
When I thought the nighttime would never end
You are the new light
On a horizon I thought would ne'er shine
You are a new hope
When hope was what I couldn't comprehend
You're my new chapter
Though I thought the Author might have resigned

Your heart brings forth peace
I never thought my heart would fully rest
Your heart brings me strength
I wondered if I'd ever stand again
Your heart brings longing
As I restlessly wait, knowing I'm blessed
Your heart brings wonder
As I ponder what may shortly begin

I look to God for guidance on this path
Heaven knows I've failed this journey before
I've seen destruction and I've felt the wrath
So, I kneel and pray His will... nothing more

Your eyes pierce through me
Like you can see my inmost hopes and dreams
Your smile frees me
To walk confidently where'er I tread
Your laugh brings me joy
When I hear it, life's less stressful, it seems
Your words melt my heart
I oft think of all you've whispered and said

I look to God for guidance on this path
Heaven knows I've failed this journey before
I've seen destruction and I've felt the wrath
So, I kneel and pray His will... nothing more

And I wonder what the next step might be
Pray His will becomes crystal clear to me
Please open my eyes, Lord, and let me see
You are my new day, if it's His decree

You are the new day
Bright shining, splendid... Stretching before me
You are the new day
I pray you'll remain until my sunset
You are the new day
Setting my heart on fire... My soul free
You are my new day
And for this, my heart owes you a great debt

I look to God for guidance on this path
Heaven knows I've failed this journey before
I've seen destruction and I've felt the wrath
So, I kneel and pray His will... nothing more

I look to God for guidance on my way
Lord give me guidance, upon this new day
