Lyrics
I see all that You've given to me
I just got to praise
I sing cause Jesus is living in me
And I'm so amazed!
Your love gave me a way to freedom
Now I walk in the light
You're all
All that my heart is seeking
Cause You're great in my life
This is the day
My God has made
I've got a reason to celebrate
To jump up and down
And spin all around
To shouted hey: This is the day!
It doesn't matter what I face
It doesn't matter what comes my way
I know that You care for me
So it's all right
Yes, so it's all right!

Meaning & Inspiration
This Is the Day presents praise in language shaped for children to sing and move with. The opening lines respond to Gods gifts and to the life of Jesus within the believer, while the next section connects divine love with freedom and walking in the light. Its central refrain echoes the biblical declaration that the day belongs to the Lord, giving celebration a clear reason rather than treating joy as a passing mood.
Jumping, spinning, and shouting make that celebration physical and accessible to a young congregation. The final verse adds a note of trust: changing circumstances do not cancel Gods care. Together, the lyric joins gratitude, freedom, light, and confidence in a simple confession of faith. Repetition helps the main ideas remain memorable, and the contrast between difficult circumstances and steady divine care gives the song substance beneath its playful actions. The result is a kids praise song centered on rejoicing in what God has made and relying on his care throughout the day.
