This is The Day

Sometimes I lie awake in the dead of night
With cares and worries racing through my mind
And I wonder why they never seem to end
Why do I always fall a step behind??
In despair I cry out to the Father
His Word says "Child, you shall not be afraid"
For I know that He is always with me
And this is the day the Lord has made
This is the day the Lord has made

And though the road ahead is not too clear
God will provide, He'll show the way
I will rejoice in victory
This is the day the Lord has made

I could blame Him for my disappointments
And for the times I wore a broken heart
Or curse Him for the dreams that ended suddenly
Even before they had a chance to start
But I know His plan for me is perfect
And that my life's proceeding as it should
And I will persevere through all my sufferings
For I know He causes them for good
And this is the day the Lord has made
This is the day the Lord has made

And though the road ahead is not too clear
God will provide, He'll show the way
I will rejoice in victory
This is the day the Lord has made

Though my enemies surround me
He is my strength, He is my song
And though the road ahead is not too clear
God will provide, He'll show the way
I will rejoice in victory
This is the day the Lord has made
This is the day the Lord has made
This is the day the Lord has made
