All is new as I begin this day

For He has died and risen

The debt for my sin now paid

All is now forgiven

And I have received the living God

Deep in my heart

Bringing forth eternal life

And a new birth of love within

On this crisp April morning next

Looking up into the clear blue

Untarnished by cloudy imperfection

Into the deep rich ocean overhead

The glow of morning begins

I inhale the sweet new air

Taste Your cool freshness

For all is new again

With every new breath

I am filled with Your love

I hold You close, deep inside

You flow through my very being

And I am strengthened

To begin another day

To live it in Your way

And to exhale

Spreading Your Word

To all I meet today

A new boldness is with me

As I move into the world

Into this place drifted away

This place of sadness and fear

Of loneliness and wandering

It cries out for direction, For Your hand

Help me know what to say

Help me live out Your mission

Help me to "Be Not Afraid"
