As surely as the dawn will come As certain as the day There's comfort for the weary Hope for all who stray. The father holds his arms out wide And bids the sinner come Find shelter in the storm As certain as the day As surely as the dawn. As surely as the dawn will come It was for me he died My hands drove in the nails My selfishness, my pride. And though my heart is black with sin The morning light breaks through And hope has been reborn For mercy comes anew As surely as the dawn As surely as the dawn will come We'll rise to meet new life Redemption's price is paid God's wrath is satisfied. Now kindness is the air we breathe Forgiveness, grace will come Anew to us each morn As certain as the day As surely as the dawn.
