Brighter Day (Live At Lakewood Church, Houston, Tx - June 16, 2000)

(Young people, go on and stand up real quick, come on)

(Yo, everyone come get your bounce on, get your bounce on, get your bounce on)
(Don't be cute with it, you gotta get- come on)
(Fifth ward)
(Fourth ward, come on, sing it, uh)

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
Mm, it's a mystery
For someone to give their life just for me (come on)
What you did on Calvary
Makes me wanna love You more (watch this)

I never knew
I could be so happy
I never knew
I'd be so secure ('cause what?)
Because of Your love (uh)
Life has brand new meaning (it's gon' be)
It's gonna be a brighter day (brighter day), brighter day (brighter day)

(Come on, everybody clap like this, clap like this)
(Sing)

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 (come on, come on)

I never knew
I could be so happy
I never knew
I'd be so secure (because of Your-)
Because of Your love
Life has brand new meaning (gonna be)
It's gonna be a brighter day (brighter day), brighter day (brighter day)

(Sing it with me, one more time)

I never knew
I could be so happy (I never knew so-)
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)

(Listen to this, y'all)
(Listen)

Nothing can compare
To the joy You bring
An everlasting love affair (Jesus)
Jesus, my life would never be the same (I found)
I found someone who truly cares (cares, cares)

(Come on)
(Come on)
(Come on)

(Come on)
(Come on and clap your hands, clap your-)
(A-clap, a-come on, a-come on, a-clap your hands, uh)
(Everybody come on, let me hear you-)
(Woo)

I never knew
I could be so happy
I never knew (come on)
I'd be so secure (because of Your love, Jesus)
Because of Your love
Life has brand new meaning (here we go, here we go)
It's gonna be a brighter day (brighter day), brighter day (brighter day)
