New Every Morning
The steadfast love of God never ceases
God’s mercies never come to an end
They are new every morning, new every morning
Great is God’s faithfulness to me
God is my portion says my soul
Therefore I will hope, therefore I will hope in God
There is a morning now and then
When I wake and all is well
And I linger long in bed
And I listen and I watch, while all nature casts its spell
And the music on my lips, joins the music of the birds
And the heart is like a river
Overflowing with the words of delicious adulation
Surprise and celebration, my heart is like a river over flowing with the words of love
The steadfast love of God never ceases
God’s mercies never come to an end
They are new every morning, new every morning
Great is God’s faithfulness to me
God is my portion says my soul
Therefore I will hope, therefore I will hope in God
I have wakened to those mornings,
Where night’s coldness lingers near me
And there seems no cause for gladness
And my hopes have all been frozen
I have known those days, when morning means another day of weeping
When no answers and no comfort and no reason left for rising
And I lie in silent sorrow, and I want to run away
For I cannot bear tomorrow, and I cannot bear this day
The steadfast love of God never ceases
God’s mercies never come to an end
They are new every morning, new every morning
Great is God’s faithfulness to me
I cannot sing those words today
Somebody sing them for me
Where is your faithfulness, oh God is my portion says my soul
Therefore I will hope, therefore I will hope in God
I have known those wondrous mornings,
When grieving’s curtain opens and the city calls again
And I think that I am hungry, and I think that I’ll go walking in the sunshine or in the rain
Each sound is like a something that was never heard before like a fragrant sweet perfume
And the magic of this moment is the wonder of a day beyond the grieving and the gloom
Beyond the grieving and the gloom
The steadfast love of God never ceases
God’s mercies never come to an end
They are new every morning, never every morning
Great is God’s faithfulness to me
God is my portion says my soul
Therefore I will hope
Therefore I will hope in God
Therefore I will hope in God.
