Everyday We Start Anew

This worship song, composed in my fifth year as pastor at Jubilee Fellowship in St. Catharines, Ontario, is written in the first-person plural so that a gathering of people can sing it communally and claim the new beginning and fresh start offered by our triune God. 

Everyday We Start Anew

Everyday we start anew
Placing all our trust in you
We do not know what life will bring
We only know that you are king

Hand in hand we’ll go together
Step by step we’ll make it through
Day to day we will live out our love for you

When the sunrise brings the dawn
We will bravely carry on
Keeping the promises we made
Praising you for the price you paid

Loving Father you are faithful
Dearest Jesus, you’re my rock
Warming Spirit, you’re the one who helps us walk

Once again we claim your vow
In response we kneel and bow
Choosing the life you freely give
Living the way you’d have us live

Hand in hand we’ll go together
Step by step we’ll make it through
Day to day we will live out our love for you

Loving Father you are faithful
Dearest Jesus, you’re my rock
Warming Spirit, you’re the one who helps us walk

Everyday we start anew
Placing all our trust in you
We do not know what life will bring
We only know that you are king
