Good Day with Jesus

Sun comes rising over my front porch swing
Coffee in a cup, hear the bluebirds sing
Used to wake up with a worried mind
Static in my soul, couldn’t find no quiet

But I dropped to my knees on that old wood floor
Said, “Lord, I can’t do this anymore”
And like a breeze through an open door
Your peace rolled in and settled the war


Now the devil tries to rattle me
But he don’t stand a chance
When I lift my hands


It’s a good day when Jesus is working
Good day and my heart ain’t hurting
All that loud noise in my head
Turns to hallelujahs instead
It’s a good day when Grace runs deep
Good day when my soul’s at peace
Chains fall off and fear walks out
When my Savior starts moving around


Bills still stacked on the kitchen table
World still shaking, but I’m stable
’Cause I know Who holds tomorrow
And He ain’t never let me borrow sorrow

His voice cuts through the doubt and lies
Like Sunday morning choir on the rise
When He says, “Child, you’re Mine,”
Every shadow falls behind


Ain’t no storm gonna steal my song
When the Spirit’s singing along


It’s a good day when Jesus is working
Good day and my heart ain’t hurting
All that loud noise in my head
Turns to hallelujahs instead
It’s a good day when Grace runs deep
Good day when my soul’s at peace
Chains fall off and fear walks out
When my Savior starts moving around

Oh, hush now doubt, you can’t stay here
The King of Kings is drawing near
Peace, be still — that’s all He said
And the storm went quiet in my head

Quiet in my head…

It’s a good day when Jesus is working
Good day, feel Heaven stirring
Joy rolls in like a river wide
And washes all my fears aside
It’s a good day, I’m free indeed
Good day, He’s all I need
All that loud noise fades away
When my Jesus has His

Yeah, when my Jesus has His way
It’s a good, good day.
