Lyrics
To day’s a new day,
but there is no sun shine.
Noth ing but clouds, and it’s dark in my heart, and it feels like a cold night.
To day’s a new day,
but where are my blue skies?
Where is the love and the joy that You prom ised me?
Tell me it’s all right.
I al most gave up, but a pow er that I can’t ex plain
fell from heav en like a show er, now.
I smile.
E ven though I hurt, see, I smile.
I know God is work ing, so I smile.
E ven though I’ve been here for a while,
I smile.
Smile.
It’s so hard to look up when you’ve been down.
Sure would hate to see you give up now.
You look so much bet ter when you smile, so smile.
To day’s a new day,

Tell me it’s all right.
