Inspired by lyrics from “Amazing Things” by Jana Stanfield:
We will do amazing things, with the choice each new day brings.
And with every breath you take, list the progress that you make.
The reason you live is there is every gift you give.
Love your life, love your dreams. You will do amazing things.
Amazing, amazing, you will do amazing things.
Oh, the places you will go and the people you will know! Don’t worry when or where or how. You don’t need to know that now. You’re on the right track, no need to look ahead or back. Just enjoy what this day brings. You will do amazing things.
You don’t have to work it out, just stay in the here and now, let your mind rest for a little while. Sometimes deepest answers come when you’re out there having fun.
Close your eyes and take a break and smile. Amazing! You will do amazing things!

“Give thanks to the LORD, who is good, whose mercy endures forever. Who can recount the mighty deeds of the LORD, proclaim in full God’s praise?… He roared at the Red Sea and it dried up. He led them through the deep as through a desert…. He rescued them from hostile hands, freed them from the power of the enemy…. Then they believed his words and sang his praise. But they soon forgot all he had done; they had no patience for [God’s] plan …. Amazing deeds …. — fearsome deeds at the Red Sea” (Ps, 106:1-22).
You will do amazing things with the choice each new day brings
And with every step you take, bless the progress that you make.
The reason you live is there in every gift you give.
Love your life, love your dreams, you will do amazing things.
“The oracle which Habakkuk the prophet received in a vision: Look over the nations and see! Be utterly amazed! For a work is being done in your days that you would not believe, were it told” (Habbakuk 1:5).
… Oh, the places you will go and the people you will know
Don’t worry when or where or how. You don’t need to know that now.
When Joseph’s eleven brothers were seated before him in Egypt “by his directions according to their age, from the oldest to the youngest, they looked at one another in amazement . . . . They drank freely and made merry with him” (Gen. 43:33).
You’re on the right track. No need to look ahead or back.
Just enjoy what this day brings… You don’t have to work it out,
Just stay in the here and now. Let your mind rest for a little while

“We thought we were dreaming. Then our mouths were filled with laughter; our tongues sang for joy. Then it was said among the nations, ‘The LORD had done great things for them.’ The LORD has done great things for us; Oh, how happy we [are]!” (Psalm 126:1-3).
So close your eyes, take a breath, and smile.
Amazing, amazing! You will do amazing things!
