New every Morning is the love--hope unseen

I was reading a book "Hope Unseen" that had a section that gave hope to this blind soldier and family and  will give hope for anyone's life.
"And we'll see what God has in store for you....for the rest of your life. The one thing I know is that it's gonna be good.... and it's gonna be exciting. And so we're holding on here, and we're with you."


New Every morning is the Love- John Keble , 1822

New every morning is the love
our wakening and uprising prove;
through sleep and darkness safely brought,
restored to life and power and thought.

New mercies, each returning day,
hover around us while we pray;
new perils past, new sins forgiven,
new thoughts of God, new hopes of heaven.

If on our daily course our mind
be set to hallow all we find,
new treasures still, of countless price,
God will provide for sacrifice.
Old friends, old scenes, will lovelier be,
as more of heaven in each we see;
some softening gleam of love and prayer
shall dawn on every cross and care.

The trivial round, the common task,
will furnish all we ought to ask:
room to deny ourselves; a road
to bring us daily nearer God.

Only, O Lord, in thy dear love,
fit us for perfect rest above;
and help us, this and every day,
to live more nearly as we pray.
Lam 3
21 But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: 22 The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; 23 they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. 24 "The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "therefore I will hope in him."




"All Things New" 

Hear the sound of our chains

They come crashing down

There's freedom in your name

The cross erased our guilt and shame

The past can't condemn the ones

Who bear your name

Pre-chorus:

We found our hope in you (repeat)


Chorus:

You make all things new, new life found in you

You restore the years that we have wasted

You make all things new, your love breaking through

There's healing in your wake and we are changed


Verse:

Hear the shout of your church

The rescued and redeemed Lord we are yours

Saved by grace by grace we live

Nothing separates the love you give



Chorus 2:

You make all things new, new life found in you

You restore the years that we have wasted

You make all things new, your love breaking through

There's healing in your wake and we are changed

You leave healing in your wake and we are changed

There is healing in your name for us to change
