This is the day

This song was written for the mornings when faith feels quiet and strength feels limited — and for the moments when hope begins to rise again. It reflects the journey from simply waking up to make it through the day, to waking with trust that God is already present and already at work.

The lyrics speak to surrender, renewal, and the gentle confidence that comes from placing the day in God’s hands. It’s a reminder that even when we don’t see what’s ahead, we’re not walking alone — and that every day holds purpose when entrusted to Him.

Lyrics:

Some mornings rise like borrowed breath,
Just enough strength to stand again,
No promise past the ticking clock,
Just faith to walk where I have been.
I lift my eyes to fragile light,
A quiet grace I didn’t earn,
Still breathing in Your faithfulness,
Still waiting, still I turn.

Your mercy meets me where I am,
Laid gently with the breaking day,
You do not ask for perfect praise,
Just one small step, just “come and stay.”
In weakness You are near to me,
In silence You are strong,
You teach my heart to trust You here,
Before the day feels long.

This is the day You’ve made for me,
I will rise and I will believe,
Even now, You’re moving ahead,
Holding tomorrow while I breathe.
I don’t need sight to walk in faith,
I don’t need strength to start,
This is the day You’ve made for me,
And I give You my waking heart.

Hope starts to stir within my soul,
A steady flame, a quiet fire,
You’ve walked this road before my feet,
You know my doubt, You know my cry.
You shift my vision where I stand,
From fear to holy ground,
The ordinary filled with You,
Where purpose can be found.

Morning by morning You call my name,
Faith is formed in unseen ways,
I will trust You step by step,
You're already in this place.

This is the day You’ve made for me,
I will rise and I will believe,
Even now, You’re moving ahead,
Holding tomorrow while I breathe.
I don’t need sight to walk in faith,
I don’t need strength to start,
This is the day You’ve made for me,
And I give You my waking heart.
I give You my waking heart.

Before I breathe, You're at work,
Before I rise, You’ve gone ahead,
I place my yes into Your hands,
I trust the path my feet have met.

This is the day.
You’ve made for me.

I will rise and I will believe.

I will believe.
I will believe.
