At daybreak, Lord, your mercy overwhelms
The nighttime darkness of committed sin,
As your forgiveness paints dawns earthly realm
With heaven’s light, and we begin again.
The cool, fresh air is by your Spirit breathed
And wafts within the mercy of your dawn,
As sin is wiped away that has you grieved,
And we are claimed by One for whom we’ve longed.
Forever now we have new life to live
With feet on earth and heart with you above,
And we receive the truth you have to give
Wrapped in your mantle of undying love.
May daybreak capture every human heart
And give each day to us a brand new start.
