It is a beautiful day..

IT IS A BEAUTIFUL DAY by Jeff Johnson

The red print bleeds on to this empty page.

The sweet citrus of heaven and base of earth come together into one.

Salted fire births spiritual covenant.

The tongue becomes gracious and effective in every sorrow and every success.

Life’s only a dream for all this will pass away.

But for now it is beautiful day.

It is a beautiful day when the world is falling down

It is a beautiful day when I seem to be the amusement for the clown.

It is a beautiful day when nothing goes right.

It's a beautiful day when you get stuck by the venom of a snake.

It is a beautiful day when the doors are locked and windows are covered up by the disappointment of the here and now.

It is a beautiful day when there no road signs to show me to turn this way or that way.

It’s a beautiful day…..when they forecast sun but its rains on my parade.

It's a beautiful day when the extra company only wants to kick dust my way.

It is a beautiful day…..

You want to know why? You want to know why?

Because I know a friend who never turns away.

A God who is with me and a Savior who saves me.

It is a beautiful day when I can barely stand

It is a beautiful day when there are tears in my eyes.

It is a beautiful day when I grit my teeth.

It is a beautiful day when I am in the great frying pan of life.

You want to know why? You want to know why?

Because I know a friend who never turns away.

A God who is with me and I know a Savior who saves me.

It is a beautiful day when there is no unity.

It is a beautiful day when there are fires all around me.

It is a beautiful day when I got no gas in my tank - four flats and no fix a flat.

It is a beautiful day when I am the biggest loser of the day.

It is a beautiful day when it’s too hot and my ice cream falls to the floor.

You want to know why?

Because I know a friend who never turns away.

A God who is with me and I know a Savior who saves me.

It is a beautiful day when I got no money.

It is a beautiful day when there is a zero on my uniform.

It is a beautiful day….

It is beautiful day when the world has gone mad.

It is beautiful day when I got a broken heart.

It is beautiful day when there is nothing good to say.

It is a beautiful day…

You want to know why? You want to know why?

Because I know a friend who never turns away. A God who is with you and I know a Savior who saves you.

It is a beautiful day…. Oh the light… I pray and I say. Oh the light.

Everything is going to be okay.
