Music Monday: "Good Day"

A friend and I were recently chatting about our kids, and how they exaggerate so much. It is all or nothing in many situations with kids. "I'm NEVER going to stop sucking my thumb!" or "This is the WORST day EVER!" or "Feels like we are NEVER going to get there!" We were laughing about the worst day ever because my son used to say that all the time, and hers is saying it now, especially after he gets in trouble. My son would say that phrase when anything didn't go his way. We had a chat about how one event doesn't have to ruin your whole day. The day can be redeemed by working to make it better, keeping on trying, not to let one thing turn the whole day into a horrible day. It helped, he doesn't say it very often anymore, but he has grown a lot since then. 

I recently got Natalie Grant's new CD and really appreciate this song, "Good Day". I really like the phrase, " I know whatever's gonna come my way, You're here with me and it's going to be a good day..."  Isn't that how life is? God is always with us, no matter what comes our way, we can depend on Him! I hope you enjoy this upbeat song as much as I do!

"Good Day"

Happiness is temporary
It’s here and gone in a flash of light
Troubles come without a warning
To turn the day into the night

Ohhh, when everything is changing
Ohhh, the truth is still the same
Ohhh, and I know that no one can
Ever steal it away

I’m gonna dance to the beat of amazing grace
Gonna hold to the promise that You made
And I know whatever’s gonna come my way
You’re here with me and it’s going to be a good day
it’s going to be a good day, a good day

Fear can be so, so convincing
But I will keep my eyes on You
In every moment help me remember
That You always will bring me through
Ohhh, ‘cause You’re forever faithful
Ohhh, the Truth is still the same
Ohhh, and I know that no one can
Ever steal it away

I’m gonna dance to the beat of amazing grace
Gonna hold to the promise that You made
And I know whatever’s gonna come my way
You’re here with me and it’s going to be a good day
it’s going to be a good day, a good day
Come my way
You’re here with me and it’s going to be a good day

And You carry me, carry me
And You carry me, carry me
And You carry me, carry me

Because You’re for me
You’ll be with me till the end
Because You’re for me
You’ll be with me till the end
Because You’re for me
You’ll be with me till the end
Because You’re for me
You’ll be with me till the end

I’m gonna dance to the beat of amazing grace
Gonna hold to the promise that You made
And I know whatever’s gonna come my way
You’re here with me and it’s going to be a good day
it’s going to be a good day, a good day
Come my way
You’re here with me and it’s going to be a good day
