[Lyric] Brighter Day Ernie Gs Mix (Kirk Franklin)

[Intro]
Come on

[Verse 1]
When I close my eyes and think of You
And reminisce on all the things You do
I can't imagine my life without You
It's like paradise, now I know that it's real
It's a mystery
For someone to give their life just for me
What you did on Calvary
Makes me wanna love You more

[Chorus]
I never knew, I could be so happy
I never knew, I'd be so secure
Because of Your love, life has brand new meaning
It's gonna be a brighter day (brighter day), brighter day (brighter day)

[Verse 2]
Never thought that I would smile again
I never thought the dark clouds would end
I never thought that I could have a friend
That would keep me, never leave me alone
Jesus, You're my everything
The only one that makes my heart sing (heart sing)
Now I know what real love means
It's everlasting, lasting
[Chorus]
I never knew, I could be so happy
I never knew, I'd be so secure
Because of Your love, life has brand new meaning
It's gonna be a brighter day (brighter day), brighter day (brighter day)

[Interlude 1]
All my people, can you clap your hands?
All my people, can you clap your hands?
Don't be 'shamed, come on clap your hands
Don't be scared, come on clap your hands
If you can—clap your hands
If you can hear me, can you clap your hands?
Uh, haha, no doubt, it's gon' be a brighter day
And all my people say, what

[Chorus]
I never knew, I could be so happy
I never knew, I'd be so secure
Because of Your love, life has brand new meaning
It's gonna be a brighter day (brighter day), brighter day (brighter day)

[Interlude 2]
