Lyrics
New every morning
New every morning
Your mercies are new everyday
This is the day You have made
I'll rejoice and praise You for
Chorus:
New favor
New power
We move from strength to strength
You are faithful
You are able
Your mercies are new everyday
New everyday
Bridge:
I am forgetting what lies behind me
And I am chasing after You, Yes I am chasing after you
Lord I am pressing to a higher calling
And You are making all things new
Yes You are making all things new

Meaning & Inspiration
New Every Morning celebrates God’s mercy as a fresh gift for each day. The opening joins the language of renewed mercies with a decision to rejoice in the day God has made. Its chorus names new favor and power, then balances those expectations with declarations that God is faithful and able. Rather than presenting renewal as self-improvement, the song locates growth and strength in God’s continuing care.
The bridge turns from daily gratitude toward forward movement. Forgetting what lies behind and pressing toward a higher calling closely echoes Paul’s words in Philippians 3:13-14. The central phrase about mercies being new every morning comes directly from Lamentations 3:22-23, where hope rests on the Lord’s unfailing compassion and faithfulness. Psalm 118:24 supplies the song’s language of rejoicing in the day the Lord has made. These references unite its themes of mercy, praise, perseverance, and renewal. The result is a worship song that treats each day as an occasion to remember God’s faithfulness and continue pursuing his call.
