New Day (song series)

What happens when you have had a bad day?

What happens when your life changes in a moment- when you cannot return to the day before because you are a completely different person and what you know now cannot be reversed? Whether ending a relationship, losing a loved one, leaving a job, moving away, graduating college, or mourning the end of the carefree childhood we once loved but took for granted, our lives will change.

I wrote “New Day” over a dozen years ago.  When I reflect on my songs, especially those written so long ago, it brings me back to the time when I wrote it and the emotions rush over me.  The exciting thing is…I can see how those tough times in my life worked out.  I always like to write about the tough moments but then how God redeems them, and now I can see the blessings that followed.

I would never change one minute of my life for it has brought me to where I am right this moment and I couldn’t ask for anything different.  Each emotional heartache, each failure, each physical scar tells a story…my story. 

So, tell your story.  

Tell of what God has redeemed you from.  Tell of the lowly places you have been and how you have been rescued from that pit.  Maybe you are still there in that lowly place.  Know that you are loved and cherished and God does have a purpose for you and this may be the time He is refining you, molding you, changing you, and preparing you for a triumphant revival.

Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.”

Deuteronomy 31:6

We may never forget or “get over” what has challenged and made us turn a new direction.  But God makes promises He will NEVER break.

Like a sunflower waiting in the dark, anticipating the moment the sun will rise over the horizon, let our faces, as with the sunflower, be vigilant and fixed on our God and Redeemer who gives us LIFE. 

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. 

Lamentations 3:22-23

A New Day

Becki J. Buescher

Another door closes behind me

And I wanna go back

I’ll try and try to not dwell on my past

For I can’t go back, no I can’t go back

I desire not to be forgotten

And its hard to move on, to let go

And know new treasures lie before me

And I know, And I know

It’s a new day,

I know my pain will wash away

For a new song is rising in my heart

A new day to cast my cares above

Faithfully go...Faithfully follow…For it’s new day

I press on through the valley driven

Rest on the hope supplied for me

Grab hold of the truth that I’ve been given

His peace will sustain me

Desert sands cannot hold me any longer,

the raging seas cannot submerged my life

For my soul is given new life
