Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion;
therefore I will wait for him.”
Lamentations 3:22-24
(morning sun / Rosemary Beach, Fl / Julie Cook / 2018)
Is it fair to say I was lured away?
By endless distractions and lovelier attractions then
Or fairer still, my own free will
Is the better one to blame for this familiar mess
I’ve made again
So I would understand if You were out of patience
And I would understand if I was out of chances
Your mercies are new every morning
So let me wake with the dawn
When the music is through or so it seems to be
Let me sing a new song, old things gone
Every day it’s true, You make all Your mercies new
The distance left between East and West
Is how far You would go to forget the debt I’d owe
And thrown into the sea, the wicked ways in me
Will never have a chance to wash back on the sand
So I would understand if You would make me pay
I would understand lying in the bed I made again
Your mercies are new every morning
So let me wake with the dawn
When the music is through or so it seems to be
Let me sing a new song, old things gone
Every day it’s true, You make all Your mercies new
Up comes the sun on every one of us
Gone, gone, gone the guilt and shame that knew Your name
Your mercies are new every morning
So let me wake with the dawn
When the music is through or so it seems to be
Let me sing a new song, old things gone
Every day it’s true, You make all Your mercies new

New every morning… Happy Monday friend!
Yep–New EVERY morning!!
I forgot to add Nichole the other day to our list of singers from back in the day 😉
Shara did you get my e-mai?
I wanted to share, probably better than here in this little comment box, that I did both “spit” tests and so we shall now see as to whether or not I am alien or human 🙂
How did Friday go??
I’ve been thinking about you and offering up prayers.
Oh gosh I didnt get it. I think I have a different email connected here… can you send it to sharacase@yahoo.com? I want to read it!
I’ll shoot you an email this afternoon ☺️
Thank you for sharing this. Each breath is guarded by Him and we owe Him our very lives. Great is His faithfulness.
Now there you go—I have a new song in my head…Great is thy faithfulness…….lalalalala
Always happy to accommodate. Must be all those years in musical theatre.

“New” is such a wonderful, Biblical word of grace. A new command, a new creation, a new song, all because we are being renewed every day. J.
New always seems welcomed on a Monday morning 😇
Reblogged this on Talmidimblogging.
Some days, when the previous one was not so good, I am sure glad things can be new each day. Thanks, Julie
Yep!
