It’s A Beautiful Day

'It’s A Beautiful Day' came to me over period of days in the Spring of 1987 as while driving to the hiking trails in Guilford, Connecticut.  I was seeking more of God.  I was seeking the fullness of the Holy Spirit.  Thinking for years, if one was filled with the Holy Spirit, wouldn’t he know it?  Laying on this huge rock, I would open my mouth wide waiting for God to fill it with tongues.  Nothing happened at that time.

Each day I would go out in this beautiful hiking area where The Great Hemlock was located over four hundred years old.  On the way, the days were so intensely beautiful I could hardly stand it.  The words seem to write the melody.  The whole song was in my head before I played it on the guitar.  The song moves and moves you.  We have seen the sun break through the clouds singing it in Church.

People suggested that I put a chorus on the song.  So after 12 years or so, I finally added the chorus which completes the song so nicely.
