Beauty for ashes, joy for my pain   You've given me wings to fly again   Strength for today, a dance for my sorrows   Because of you, because of you      Shades of gray turn to color   Dark of night breaks to day      It's a new day, it's a new day   Shadows rise at the glory of the Son   It's a new day, it's a new day   The past has gone and life has just begun      Hope for my future, my life's made brand new   Because of you, because of you   Chains of fear turn to freedom   Silence breaks into praise      It's a new day, it's a new day   It's a new day, since you came my way      Shades of gray turn to color   Dark of night breaks to day   Chains of fear turn to freedom
