A Prayer Song to Start Your Days – “The Day Is Dawning” by Jill Phillips

This song repeats its prayer over and over, with slight variations, as it prays for strength, love, and hope for the day. Those are all things that we desperately need help with these days, so this is a good song to listen to and a simple prayer to echo as you rise and begin each day.

“The Day Is Dawning” by Jill Phillips

Give me a chance; I want to change my ways,
‘Cause I can't live here and look the same.
Let me look up, let me look to your face,
And set me in my place, oh Lord, set me in my place.
 
The day is dawning and I am just rising
I pray my strength won't fail, I pray my strength won't fail. (x 2)
 
My strength won’t fail. My strength won’t fail.
The day is dawning and I am just rising,
I pray my strength won't fail, my strength.
 
The day is dawning and I am just rising.
I pray my love won't fail, I pray my love won't fail. (x 2)
 
My love won’t fail. My love won’t fail.
The day is dawning and I am just rising.
I pray my love won't fail, my love.
 
The day is dawning and I am just rising.
I pray my hope won't fail, I pray my hope won't fail. (x 2)
 
My hope won’t fail. My hope won’t fail.
The day is dawning and I am just rising.
I pray my hope won't fail, my hope.
 
Give me a chance; I want to change my ways,
‘Cause I can't live here and look the same.
