There's A New Day Dawning.

There’s a new day dawning when I hope I won’t be here

I’ll be standing at the pearly gates with a smile and not a tear

I’ll look down through a cloudy sky at those I left behind

But you know that I am happy and I know that you won’t mind.

I will still be praying for all my friends down there

And the Father may be saying, ‘They know that you still care’.

So if one day you notice that I am not around

You’ll remember I’m not lying in a hole down in the ground.

I may not leave the Saviour’s side for many many days

But then Saint Paul you just can’t hide. I’ll find you in that maze

I want to ask what you thought, and look into your head

And when I have the answers I’ll find someone else instead.

I don’t know who may be next that I will want to meet

Like Abraham or Moses who accepted no defeat

King David’s Psalms are dear to me and so he will be too

All this will keep me occupied while I have to wait for you.
