A new anointing for a new day
O Lord let it pour
A new anointing for a new day
To carry the glory of the Lord
To carry the glory of the Lord
The oil from yesterday has grown stale
And the strength that I once trusted in has failed
But Your fresh word has been spoken
And my proud heart has been broken
So once again I come behind the veil
Asking for
Holy fragrance sweet perfume
All consuming fire fill this room
No more living in yesterday’s grace
O Lord pour Your power
And Your passion or Your purposes today
To carry the glory of the Lord
A new anointing
We need a new anointing
