Father, I am weary
I am pleading
For Your mercy
I am waiting for Your answer
And I'm struggling with surrender
But I'm trusting
Through the darkness that surrounds
This is the day
The Lord has made
I will rejoice
I will give thanks
And live my life
To bring you praise
This is the day the Lord has made
Father, through the shadows
I will seek You
I will follow
For Your glory
For Your kingdom
For redemption and for freedom
In my weakness, through the power of the cross
This is the day
The Lord has made
I will rejoice
I will give thanks
And live my life
To bring you praise
This is the day the Lord has made
And I will carry my cross
Carry my cross
And You will carry me
I will carry my cross
Carry my cross
And You will carry me
This is the day
The Lord has made
I will rejoice
I will give thanks
And I will live my life
To bring you praise
This is the day the Lord has made
This is the day the Lord has made
This is the day the Lord has made
