It's a New Day
Hillsong Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Beauty for ashes, joy for my pain
You've given me wings to fly again
Strength for today, a dance for my sorrows
Because of you, because of you

Shades of gray turn to color
Dark of night breaks to day
It's a new day, it's a new day
Shadows rise at the glory of the Son
It's a new day, it's a new day
The past has gone and life has just begun

Hope for my future, my life's made brand new
Because of you, because of you
Chains of fear turn to freedom
Silence breaks into praise

It's a new day, it's a new day
It's a new day, since you came my way

Shades of gray turn to color




Dark of night breaks to day
Chains of fear turn to freedom
