LET THE DAY BEGIN

LET THE DAY BEGIN

SNIPPET

“Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.

Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.

This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.” 
― Ralph Waldo Emerson, Collected Poems and Translations

SCRIPTURE

The stone which the builders rejected
Has become the chief cornerstone.

This was the Lord’s doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes.

This is the day the Lord has made;
We will rejoice and be glad in it. Psalms 118:22-24 NKJV

SONG
LET THE DAY BEGIN KEVIN MAX

Here's to the babies in a brand new world
Here's to the beauty of the stars
Here's to the travelers on the open road
Here's to the dreamers in the bars

Here's to the teachers in the crowded rooms
Here's to the workers in the fields
Here's to the preachers of the sacred words
Here's to the drivers at the wheel

Here's to you my little love
Let the day begin
Here's to you my little love with blessings from above
Let the day begin

Here's to the winners of the human race
Here's to the losers in the game
Here's to the soldiers of the bitter war
Here's to the wall that bears their names

Here's to you my little love
Let the day begin
Here's to you my little love with blessings from above
Let the day begin, the day begin, the day start

Here's to the doctors and their healing work
Here's to the loved ones in their care
Here's to the strangers on the streets tonight
Here's to the lonely everywhere

Here's to the wisdom from the mouths of babes
Here's to the lions in the cage
Here's to the struggles of the silent war
Here's to the closing of the age

Here's to you my little love
Let the day begin
Here's to you my little love
Let the day begin
Here's to you my little love
Let the day begin
Here's to you my little love with blessings from above
Here's to you my little love with blessings from above
Here's to you my little love with blessings from above

SENTENCE PRAYER


Father,  Thank you for the gift of a new day.  As the sun rises may my love also grow in the sun.  Holy Spirit, open my eyes to see the blessings from above.  Amen
