Every day before the rush gets started
I get down on my knees
And I pray, Lord, I need You here to guide me
Please speak to me
And something happens that I can't explain
His Word starts talking to me and
I'm out to face this world again
[Chorus:]
I do believe it's gonna be another red letter day
I do believe it's gonna be another chance for me
To take His Word and walk by faith
I got a smile with every step I take
Knowing He is here with me
It's gonna be a red letter day
I had a friend call me up and tell me
How he struggles through each day
I told him that I didn't have all of the answers
This world's a crazy place
I've learned to hide God's word in my heart
So I can have it with me when the pressures of the day start
[repeat chorus]
So many hidden treasures in God's Word for us to find
The mysteries and secrets that are there to bring us life
[repeat chorus]
