Anyways, the song is about how a new day is born everyday. and how it promises to bring us light and life.
the second verse of this song, talks about the first vision, and how Joseph Smith woke up one morning, in the spring of 1820 and it was just an ordinary day, and then something extraordinary happened. something that changed the world. the first vision happened. the single most important event that has happened in the last 200 + years. where a 14 year boy (Joseph Smith) woke up one spring morning, and walked into the grove of trees behind his home, and asked God which church was true.
lets rewind a little bit. one night Joseph was reading in the Bible as he often did, and he read James chapter 1: 5-6 "5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed." I love verse 6, it tells us to not only ask but ask in faith. and that is exactly what Joseph did. he not only asked God, but he asked in faith. he asked with the simple faith of a 14 year old boy.
so, basically what im trying to say, is we should way up everyday, with the knowledge that it is a new day, and that new day is a gift from a loving Heavenly Father. and that although we may wake up, feeling like it is an ordinary day, it has the potential to become something extraordinary! if we are willing to make it that way. we have the Gospel because Joseph Smith woke up that morning, with the faith that something extraordinary could happen, and it did.
here is a link to that song, it is such a great song, and has such a great message!
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. and remember every day is a new day that has the potential to become extraordinary.
