Early in the morning

Sun is a smiling

Shining bright on my face, but I still got yesterday haunting me

I gotta shake the devil off, I can't relive the same day

Praying grace will see me through

I know I can't make it any other way

Oh oh my soul, my soul don't you give up no no, oh oh

Just keep looking straight ahead, don't you slow down now

Thank you for the new day and all the possibilities that is coming my way hey hey

I will open up my arms and say let it come, let it come

I won't look back at yesterday

Let all my fears and mistakes fade

Thank you for the new day

Thank you for the new day

We don't have to worry, what other people think and say

We gotta keep believing even though we're not seeing

My head is telling me no, my heart is showing me the way

Praying grace will see us through

Taking things day by day

Oh oh my soul, my soul don't you give up no no, oh oh

Just keep looking straight ahead, don't you slow down now

Thank you for the new day and all the possibilities that is coming my way hey hey

I will open up my arms and say let it come, let it come

I won't look back at yesterday

Let all my fears and mistakes fade

Thank you for the new day

Thank you for the new day

Late in the evening, moon is a rising

Laying down my head to rest, counting all my blessings

Realizing I'm a rich man, no I don't have lots of money

I've got friends, I have family

I've got purpose inside of me

Oh oh oh oh my soul, my soul don't you give up no no, oh oh

Just keep looking straight ahead, don't you slow down now

Thank you for the new day and all the possibilities that is coming my way hey hey

I will open up my arms and say let it come, let it come

I won't look back at yesterday

Let all my fears and mistakes fade

Thank you for the new day

Thank you for the new day

Thank you for the new day

Thank you for the new day
