Born On A New Day - John David

Composed: 2003
Sung by: The King's Singers
Christmas with the King's Singers - Cover Art


You are the new day,
You are the new day.

Meekness, love, humility
Come down to us this day.
Christ, your birth has proved to me
You are the new day.

Quiet in a stall you lie,
Angels watching in the sky
Whisper to you from on high,
“You are the new day.”

When our life is darkest night
Hope has burned away;
Love, your ray of guiding light,
Show us the new day.

Love of all things great and small,
Leaving none, embracing all
Fold around me where I fall,
Bring in the new day.

This new day will be
A turning point for everyone
If we let the Christ-child in and
Reach for the new day.

Christ, the Way, the Truth, the Life;
Healing sadness, ending strife;
You we welcome, Lord of Life,
Born on a new day.

You are the new day.
