New Morning

This is a Nick Cave cover that MMJ put on their Christmas album. It is a beautiful

song that was supposedly inspired by Amazing Grace.

One morn I awakened

And your sun was shining

The sky was a kingdom

All covered with blood

And the moon and the stars

Were the troops that lay conquered

Like fruit left to wither

All spiritual food

And the spears of the bright sun

All brave with its conquest

Did hover unearhtly

With banners of fire

And I knelt in the garden

and washed with the dawn

The voice came so brightly

I covered my eyes

Thank you for giving

This bright new morning

So steeped seemed the evening

In darkness and blood

G (stop!)- -

Let there be no sadness

No sorrow

Let there be no road to narrow

There'll be a new day

Yes its today

its forever

(Note: repeat that last verse twice.)
