lyrics

I wake up early on a Sunday
To try and make the most
Of the quiet in the mornings
While other's eyes are closed

I brew a coffee in my favourite cup
Then sit down in my chair
Sip and ponder over my first thoughts
And filter them through prayers
Cuz I know the way the day’s gonna greet me

New mercies in the morning
And dancing through the night
I hear the day and it’s calling
To stand up for what’s right

I’m carried by grace
I’m carried by perfect peace
It starts a new day
Where goodness will follow me

I love to be there when the dawn cracks through
Before the sunrise paints the skies
I love to read and write by candlelight
But I’ll be fine without them too

Well I’ve found myself working late
I’m playing pubs, singing the blues
I must embrace there’s been a change of pace
My peace is not in what I do

And I know the way the day’s gonna greet me

New mercies in the morning
And dancing through the night
I hear the day and it’s calling
To stand up for what’s right

I’m carried by grace
I’m carried by perfect peace
It starts a new day
Where goodness will follow me

Every now and then the little one might wake up before her usual time
I hear the door its creaking down the hall
Now I’ve got seconds to decide
There are two ways that my heart can go
Will I choose joyful sacrifice
Will I forsake the gift in front of me
For my reward is in her smile

Cuz these years they’ll soon be gone
So I’ll welcome interruptions
Cuz I know the way the day’s gonna greet me

New mercies in the morning
and dancing through the night
I hear the day and it’s calling
Calling calling yeah

New mercies in the morning
and dancing through the night
I hear the day and it’s calling
To be a carrier of light

I’m carried by grace
I’m carried by perfect peace
It starts a new day
Where goodness will follow me
