A Brand New Day

Dedicated to my dear friend, Clarissa Chung Would you stroll with me along this lovely walkway? Let us enjoy the freshness of a brand new day The chirping of blue birds is soothing to the ears The fragrance of flowers is drawing us near You've seen my garden before; do you remember? The little girl is here; do you remember her? Would you walk with me to that beautiful white swing? Come now; for us, she has been patiently waiting The tears she now sheds are no longer from sorrow But joy floods her eyes with hope for tomorrow She's no longer hoping for death; she wants to live For her loving Saviour has helped her to forgive He has forgiven her; why should she hate herself? No longer does she hide her shame on a dark shelf She's out in the garden; the one like Eden At the cross of Jesus; she's laid down her burdens She just wants to thank you for sharing her burdens For reaching out to her in godly compassion You have touched her with sisterly affection The love of God has forged and sealed that connection
