For today, I just felt impressed to post the lyrics to this song... It seems like it fits today really well. :) To hear the song, click on the little playlist at the top of my sidebar. (Turn off my other music first by clicking the miniscule 'pause' button)New Day by Avalon:
Chorus:
It's a new day,
Oh, it's a new time
And there's a new way,
I'm gonna live my life
All the old has passed away
And the new has come
Thank God, it's a brand new day
Lookin' back at yesterday,
There are things that I regret
But I put the past behind me
And I never will forget
You have covered my mistakes,
And my broken dreams
Now over the horizon
I see the dawn is drawing near
And I realize the sun did rise
Tomorrow's finally here
Chorus:
And it's a New Day,
Oh, it's a new time
And there's a new way,
I'm gonna live my life
All the old has passed away
And the new has come
Thank God, it's a brand new day
Now when I wake up thinkin'
Of the things I've done before
Memories I could not escape
Well they can't haunt me anymore
Now I can hold my head up high
'Cause I am not the same
You've changed my whole perspective
And with new eyes I see
I've become a new creation
'Cause of what you've done for me
Chorus:
It's a New Day,
Oh, it's a new time
And there's a new way
I'm gonna live my life
All the old has passed away
And the new has come
Thank God, it's a brand new day
Cause of what you've done for me
Now I am not ashamed
This heart of mine is finally free
And I will never be the same!
'Cause it's a New Day,
Yeah, it's a new time
And there's a new way
I'm gonna live my life
All the old has passed away
And the new has come
Thank God, it's a brand new day
(repeat chorus)
End.
My absolute favorite line in the whole song is "And I realize, the sun did rise, tomorrow's finally here". I used to get shivers when I heard it. :) I still do, sometimes.
So what did you do for New Year's Eve? I was at home. My brothers and I lit sparklers outside on the gravel driveway and I filmed some of it... I'll have to post a video later. :D
Blessings to all and a very Happy New Year to everyone!!!

My family stayed up until 12:20 or so watching old movies. We love old movies =)
ReplyDeleteLord willing, we all will learn from the mistakes we made in 2008 and remember that 2009 is a new day!
Oh, about my blog.......go ahead and put a new header up. I think I like the one with the rose. Anyway, I am plunking around on scrapblog.com, but if you wouldn't mind doing that for now.......
And what did you type in to get ribbon?
We didn't do much of anything, just watched a movie. We didn't stay up either, although I heard some fireworks gong off at midnight! Couldn't see them though. =:(
ReplyDeleteBlessings!

well, all my sisters knitted in front of the fire. Relaxing.
ReplyDeleteHello Julia! Well, I didn't have that great of a day... I got a stomach bug at about 11:15 last night... not fun. :P I was sick from 11:15 - 4:15. It was horrible. But I was able to ring in the new year, at least. :P I'm still getting over the bug though.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I love those lyrics! I'll try to listen to the song sometime soon. :)
Anyway, I'm glad you had a good New Years!
Happy New Years! I hope your 2009 is great! :D

I know it (the followers thing) says I just added. It is because I put them all anonymous to see what that did, and them I put it back to public, so now it is how it is now. Sorry!
