New Day
by Barbara Philbrook

Good Morning Sweet Child Of Mine,
It is a new day and the very first in the rest of time.

Arise, begin, enjoy is what I say,
I wish you joy and success throughout this day.

From sunup till past the dark of night,
may each thing you attempt turn out right.

May you hear sounds that cheer your heart,
may everyone you meet be loving from this days start.

I hope that you need not have a care at all,
but if you should, you have Jesus on whom you can call.

So do not worry, do not fear,
whether you need Him or not, Jesus will be near.

Praise God, my child for giving us this day,
let's start it right, let's kneel to pray.
