I can see the miracle and the ordinary things I have learned to celebrate what each new morning brings Because jesus touches common lives in such uncommon ways And when it comes to living these are the glory days These are glory days of mercy these are glory days of grace When the blessing and the blessed come together face to face Yes i know, this isn't heaven, there is sorrow there is strife But just knowing i'm forgiven makes it the glory days of life To some it is the goof old days They can't believe are gone To others, it's the future that keeps them pressing on But i take joy in knowing all the sweet and loving ways God just keeps on blessing me In these glory days These are glory days of mercy these are glory days of grace When the blessing and the blessed come together face to face Yes i know, this isn't heaven, there is sorrow there is strife But just knowing i'm forgiven makes it the glory days of life
