Look to the Day

Look to the day when the world seems new again:
Morning so fresh you could touch the sky;
The earth smells sweet and ev’ry flower looks bright
Shining in a dewy light as you wander by
Taking the time to enjoy each moment;
Tasting the fruits spread along your way
Knowing there’s time to spare
Dreams you can dream and share:
Look to the day, look to the day

Look to the day when the earth is green again:
Promise of spring after winter’s sleep
The sounds of life returning fill the air
Music that’s forever there for your heart to keep
Deep in the earth lay the seed of life renewed
Quiet and strong till the time of spring
Life in each bud and shoot
Life in each flower and fruit
Look to that day when earth shall sing

Look to the light that will drive out darkness;
Look to the hope that will conquer fear
God’s strength uphold us till the fight is won
Till we see our task is done when the day is here
Look for that day when there shall be no more pain;
Sorrow and sighing shall pass away
Pray for the day to come
Trust that the day will come
Look to that day, look to the day

Lord, we give thanks for the gifts of life and health;
Plant a new seed in our hearts, we pray:
Help us to see, O Lord
How it could be, O Lord;
Look to the day, look to the day
