(John 20:29-31)
I spent some time reading a book by retired Pastor Phillip Dunham called “Sure Salvation.” It has inspired my life in so many ways that I couldn't express them all. One way in particular is how I've been able to see Christ as a friend. He gave his life for me and I am humbled that I can be sure of my salvation because of my belief in Christ.
I wrote “A New Day” for this project and it came out of my joy in Christ. I wanted to portray the light-hearted feeling I have knowing that Christ bears my burdens. He is walking beside me. I am never alone. Just believe in Him. Know that He is the Son of God and you will have eternal life in Him. A new day is coming…

(Chorus)
Now it’s a new life, it’s a new way
Livin’ in Jesus Christ
(Yeah) it’s a new dawn
It’s a new day
I’m gonna win this time
The sun is shinin’, the clouds are gone
My load is light and I’m singin’ this song
I’m feelin’ fine on this new glory ride
It’s a brand new feelin’ with God on my side
(Repeat Chorus)
I’m breakin’ out, I’m walkin’ new ground
My faith is strong, I am
Heavenward-bound
Got a direction and I can’t be late
Don’t slow me down
I’ve got Heaven at stake
(Repeat Chorus)
I hold to the promise that You’ll never leave
I know Your words are all true
I’m gonna go though the pathway is steep
I’m makin’ my way back to You
(Repeat Chorus Twice)
Well it’s a new day
On my way to Heaven
A new day
Glory, Hallelujah!
A new day, livin’ in Jesus Christ
Well it’s a new day
On my way to Heaven
A new day
Gonna keep on shoutin’
I’m gonna win this time
Oh it’s a new day!
