2/9/22 - Lord I Hope This Day is Good

2/9/22

In 2021 there were many days that I knew were going to be doozies from the time I woke in the morning. The pain was too much, being around people overwhelmed me, I stressed over financial problems - that sort of thing. Of course, I would pray for a better day than how I felt it starting out. Inevitably, I would play music to help soothe my ill and weary soul. One of the main songs I would play was "Lord I Hope This Day Is Good" sang by Don Williams. Today has been one of those days and I found the song already playing in my head when I woke this morning. I hope it helps - and Lord, I hope this day is good.

"Lord I Hope This Day Is Good" is listed now as a classic country song and was written in 1981 by David Hanner. It was released in November 1981 on Don Williams' album "Especially for You" and became Don's twelfth hit on the country charts. It stayed at number one for a week but spent a total of 20 weeks on the top country music charts. Since its first release, it has been covered by artists like Leanne Womack and Anne Murray - and the song stays as beautiful as ever, regardless of the singer.

Have a pleasant day everyone. I pray y'all's days are good too.

Lord I Hope This Day Is Good
sang by Don Williams - written by David Hanner
Lord, I hope this day is good
I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood
I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should
But Lord I hope this day is good

Lord, have you forgotten me
I've been prayin' to you faithfully
I'm not sayin' I'm a righteous man
But Lord I hope you understand

I don't need fortune and I don't need fame
Send down the thunder, Lord, send down the rain
But when you're plannin' just how it will be
Plan a good day for me

Lord, I hope this day is good
I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood
I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should
But Lord I hope this day is good

You've been the King since the dawn of time
All that I'm asking is a little less crime
It might be hard for the devil to do
But it would be easy for You
Lord, I hope this day is good
I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood
I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should
But Lord I hope this day is good
