Lord, I hope this day is good

This song would play on my iPod during my morning walks, but I only listened closely and appreciated its beautiful lyrics and melody the past three weeks. If you're one of the few wasting time on this blog (hehe), you'd remember I mentioned in one recent post that I am not into music and just listen to whatever songs are on the iPod watch, which I only use when taking walks. The songs are grouped under several playlists, and before I would take off every morning, I'd choose a playlist which had more than enough songs to run the course of a 30-minute brisk walk. I was anxious the past weeks waiting for the day when I would go back to work after more than a year of being on extended leave. As I walked, I would look up and pray for the job I wanted to take up when I return to the same organization. This song was right on. I prayed that I would hear good news on that day, and every day. It summed up how I felt, "Lord, I hope this day is good."

I thought I'd share it here, and inspire even just a couple of you out there. I have successfully attached a video so you could hear it. It's the same version (Lee Ann Womack) as the one saved on my iPod watch. Anne Murray also has her own rendition, but it was originally performed by country singer Don Williams (whoever he is).

Lord, I hope this day is good

I'm feelin' empty like You knew I would

I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should

But Lord, I hope this day is good

Lord, have You forgotten me?

I've been praying to You faithfully

I'm not saying I've done all I can

But Lord, I know You'll understand

I don't need fortune and I don't need fame

Send down the thunder, Lord, send down the rain

But when You're planning just how it will be

Plan a good day for me

Lord, I hope this day is good

I'm feelin' empty like You knew I would

I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should

But Lord, I hope this day is good

You've been the King since the dawn of time

All that I'm askin is a little less crying

It might be hard for the devil to do

But it would be easy for You

Lord, I hope this day is good

I'm feelin' empty like You knew I would

I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should

But Lord, I hope this day is good

Lord, I hope this day is good
