Every New Day
Lyrics by Reese Roper
Performed by Five Iron Frenzy
When I was young, the smallest trick of light,
could catch my eye, then life,
was new and every new day I thought that I could fly.
I believed in what I hoped for,
and I hoped in things unseen.
I had wings and dreams could soar,
I just don't feel like flying anymore.
When the stars threw down their spears,
watered heaven with their tears,
before words were spoken,
before eternity.
Dear Father, I need you
your strength my heart to mend.
I want to fly higher,
every new day again.
When I was small, the furthest I could reach
was not so high, then I thought,
the world was so much smaller,
feeling I could fly.
Through distant deeps and skies
behind, infinity, below the face of Heaven
He stoops to create me.
Man versus himself.
Man versus machine
Man versus the world.
Mankind versus me.
The troubles go on, the wisdom I lack,
the burdens keep pilling up on my back
So hard to breathe, to take the next step,
the mountain is high, I wait in the depths.
Yearning for Grace, and hoping for Peace
Dear God, Increase!
Healing hands of God
have mercy on our unclean souls once again,
Jesus Christ, light of the world, burning bright
within our hearts forever.
Freedom means love without condition, a beginning
or an end.
Here's my heart, let it be forever Yours,
Only You can make every new day
seem so new.
