Last thing I remember, sayin' bye to yesterday
Glad to see it over, pullin' covers over my head

Singin' about my freedom, wakin' me up to hear Your song
And now I can't dance hard enough
'Cause yesterday is gone, gone, gone!

'Cause I know You never stop watching over me
I wake up, my past is gone
'Cause Your mercy's new with the mornin' sun
I'm forgiven, I'm free, it's a brand new day
'Cause Your faithfulness is the greatest (hey!)
