As a kid we used to sing that song “this is the day.” I’ve been singing those words lately to various new melodies and yesterday with help from G.K. Chesterton and Psalm 118 (what a great Psalm) it gelled into a song.
This is the day the Lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it
This is the day…This is the day…The Lord has made
The Lord waits for the break of dawn
Like a child waits to be spun
He does not tire of repetition
But takes delight in each new morning
(Chorus)
I will not die, no, I shall live
to proclaim the work God did
Open wide those righteous gates
That I may enter and give thanks
