Oh Happy Day!
What a joyful experience, this first day of Spring.
A time of new birth, growth, and wonderment.
To be inspired by the sun and the Son and his Grace and his glory.
Sing a song for this new day.
Sing a song of praise and of thanksgiving!
Halleluiah! Halleluiah!
We have been like the Israelites wandering…wondering…
Will this darkness end? Will we find our home?
Will we be safe? Will we be delivered?
God always answers us with “Yes, my beloved” though not always in words.
We sing a song for this new day.
We sing a song of praise and thanksgiving.
Halleluiah! Halleluiah!
David exclaims “Confitemini Domino”
Give thanks to the Lord for he is good!
For “He is good and his mercy endures for ever”
And ever and ever and ever…
We sing a song for this new day.
We sing a song of praise and thanksgiving.
Halleluiah! Halleluiah!
Our Lord, our awesome God, leads us out of “darkness and deep gloom.”
We, who have cried out to our Lord in distress.
We, who have rebelled and “despised the counsel of the Most High.”
We are delivered from our darkness…our gloom.
We sing a song for this new day.
We sing a song of praise and thanksgiving.
Halleluiah! Halleluiah!
“Whoever is wise will ponder these things and consider well the mercies of the Lord.”
He is the most merciful God, Almighty!
We are brought through the “stress of adversity and sorrow”
And are lifted from our misery by his Grace and his love.
We sing a song for this new day.
We sing a song of praise and thanksgiving.
Halleluiah! Halleluiah!
