NEW DAY / HOPE LIVES
In this new day
Of mercy and grace
Light shines
In this new day
Of peace and hope
Light shines
On this new day
Of life and joy
Light shines
On this new day
The love of God shines
Let us determine to enjoy it
In the face of mercy and grace
This hard heart continually breaks
Broken before the Creator of all
Hope lives
In the holy place of absolute strength
This human heart refuses to beat
Lying facedown before the Cross
Hope lives
In this glory of God's promised love
This fearful heart finds new courage
Kneeling before the Lord of life
Hope lives
In the assurance of God's perfection
This rebellious heart falls apart
Confessing sin in light of forgiveness
Hope lives

Praise to God for a Living Hope
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his
great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the
resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 and into an inheritance
that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven
for you, 5 who through faith are shielded by God's power until the
coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may
have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that
the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold,
which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise,
glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 8 Though you have
not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him
now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and
glorious joy, 9 for you are receiving the end result of your faith,
the salvation of your souls.

TOUCH
Through the darkness
I lift up my hands
Empty
Stretching
I reach to touch Your smile
