Today’s post features the song “A New Day” and was inspired by a really nice tweet I received yesterday.

“A New Day” was inspired by a Stephen Mansfield message entitled “Seven Prayers of A Warrior”. The first first verse paraphrases David’s Psalm 144
Praise be to the LORD my Rock, who trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle. Psalm 144, verse 1.
A New Day      Â
Verse 1:
Praise to the Lord my rock, who trains my hands for battle
Prepare my heart and mind for war
You are my strength, my shield, my fortress and protection              Â
Arise Oh God and show yourself great
 CHORUS:
It’s a new day
For the power of God to be displayed
It’s a new day
For the love of Christ to be proclaimed
It’s a new day
For the people of God to rise and pray
It’s a new day
And with the love of Jesus to light the way
It’s a new day, It’s a new day
Verse 2:
Give me a willing spirit, to only do your pleasure
Release your energy in me
Raise up a holy army with singleness of vision           Â
Make us brave of heart, we’ll overcome by faith
Tag:
This is the day for a new dedication,
This is the day for a bold declaration
This is the day of the Lord’s salvation
This is the day of liberation
For every tribe and for every nation,
there’s gonna be a royal invitation
To worship the King in holy adoration
singing the song of jubilation
This is the call for this generation
This is the call for reconciliation
To honor the Lord of all creation
This is the day of liberation
It’s a new day!
