Musings

Again, this post is rather random and sudden. But I feel the real gut feeling that I need to post this up.

I've been going through the blogs of some people I know, and learnt that some people have been going through some stuff. Don't we all though? It's the new years, and many of us take this as a time of reflection besides the celebrations. And 2009 would mean a lot of things for a lot of people. Some more fortunate would say it was a good year for them. For others, it could be the year they would rather forget. For me, the year is a mix of good and bad, in our own terms. Good because I've seen and learnt so much. I've seen people grow, and how God has moved so mightily in my life and in the lives of others. Bad because there was some bitter and painful moments. But isn't every year also sprinkled with bad experiences? There is no perfect year. It will always be a mixture of good and bad.

This song goes out to those that 2009 has been a painful year. It is also for those who are facing painful situations right now, wherever those situations may be. At home, at school, at college, at work, wherever. It is a good reminder, that there is always a brand new day. A new hope, especially when that hope is focused on the Constant in life, Jesus Christ. His unfailing love endures forever. He is the one hope that will never fade. It's up to you to hold on to it.

I'm waking up
The world is turning
The sun is shining again
I'm holding on
To things I shouldn't
It's time to let them go
I've been on a losing streak
Hit so hard I couldn't speak
But when I hear Your voice it fades away

And I can hear You say
It's a brand new day
The pain goes away
And I'm headed for the door
And I'm going home (I'm going home)
I'm going home (I'm going home)

Your love, it burns
Away my darkness
You guide me when I'm blind
You are the light
That shines inside me
Showing me I'm
So much more
When I've been on a losing streak
Hit so hard I couldn't speak
But when I hear Your voice it fades away

And I can hear You say
It's a brand new day
The pain goes away
And I'm headed for the door
And I'm going home (I'm going home)
I'm going home (I'm going home)

Take me into Your arms
My home lies within
In Your heart

And I can hear You say
It's a brand new day

And I can hear You say
It's a brand new day
The pain goes away
And I'm headed for the door

And I can hear You say
It's a brand new day
The pain goes away
And I'm headed for the door
And now I'm going home (I'm going home)
I'm going home (I'm going home)
I'm going home (I'm going home)
I'm going home (I'm going home)

So, to everyone out there who is hurting, or going through tough situations, or had a painful and tough 2009, I tell you this. It's a brand new day. It is all in the past. We cannot change what has already happened. But we have tomorrow to look forward to. Again I say, it's a brand new day. The pain goes away. Listen to His voice, that tells you "It's a brand new day." Sing like the vocalist, to "Take me in Your arms." Hope is calling out to you. Will you make you home in His heart? The heart that is bigger than all your problems, all your issues, all your challenges. A heart over flowing with love for all mankind. And you specifically.

It's time to let go, of the things that we hold on to that we shouldn't. Let go of the pain and the hurt. And embrace the love of Christ. Let's head for the door, and go home. (Now with that I DO NOT mean that we commit suicide, just to make it clear. Life's too precious to waste it like that.)

Will you make your home in His heart? I know I have. And it is an awesome feeling to have such a great hope. I pray you find it too. The sun is shining again. It's a brand new day. Hello New Day. Hello 2010. I know you will be great, for Greater Things have yet to come....
