My First Post of 2009

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!!!
Julia
Currently I'm feeling: Happy, and extremely Optimistic about the new year!

  1. My family stayed up until 12:20 or so watching old movies. We love old movies =)

    Lord 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?

  2. 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. =:(

    Blessings!

  4. Hello 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.
    Oh, 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

  8. 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!
