Lyrics
A New Day (3/24/02), Words & Music by Steve Laurie
Riding the waves of life’s ocean
Up and down with each emotion
Ebb and flow, keep on floating into a new day
In and out of troubled waters
Squalls and storms that make the night long
But when the sun comes up it’s a new day, a new day
It’s not the same, it’s time for change, on we go
Yesterday has gone away, it’s a new day
So let it go, let the past go
For we know, we surely know
That today is a new day
Never mind the fear and failure
Each and every human sailor
Has to bail a little water and keep going
Let Jesus be your pilot
Captain, guide and savior
He’s faithful to bring good weather into your life, on a new day
Lift up your heart, make a new start, on you go
Yesterday has gone away, it’s a new day
So let it go, let the past go
For we know, we surely know
That today is a new day
A new day, a new day
