Christmas Carol Of The Day

 I was recently listening to a Christmas album that had this beautiful song on it and was touched by the amazing lyrics. The words are bursting with truth and life as a prayer is birthed in the heart of the song. Let our hearts be full of thanks-giving to the One who Himself is the essence of hope eternal. 

Born On A New Day

by 

Phillip Lawson

You are the new day.

Meekness, love, humility

Come down to us this day:

Christ, your birth has proved to me

You are the new day.

Quiet in a stall you lie,

Angels watching in the sky

Whisper to you from on high,

"You are the new day."

When our life is darkest night,

Hope has burned away;

Love, your ray of guiding light,

Show us the new day.

Love of all things great and small,

Leaving none, embracing all,

Fold around me when I fall,

Bring in the new day.

This new day will be

A turning point for everyone

If we let the Christ-child in, and

Reach for the new day.

Christ the Way, the Truth, the Life;

Healing sadness, ending strife;

You, we welcome, Lord of Life,

Born on a new day.

You are the new day.
