Lord, send the new light
of your dawn into my inner self.
Make shadows fade, pull back the blind,
let dazzling light cascade
into every corner of my mind.
Lord, send the new warmth
of your sun into my heart,
let me sense your healing love,
like sun rising gently above
sleepy land on a misty morn
to give me a fresh new start.
Lord, send the new fire
of your love into my being,
take away the chill,
give new beginning, new purpose,
new thrill, fresh life, fresh hope.
Let me believe still
You can give me the power of Your healing love.
Amen
