What a Difference a Day Makes

As she lay down to sleep, Mary started to weep

Remembering the cross and the nails

She was there when he died, as the spear pierced his side

She watched as the Savior travailed

And now her life seemed like the end of a dream

And left her heart sad and with gloom

But in the morning she'd go watch there roll back the stone

And step in the now empty room

What a difference a day makes

What a change in the air

Where the glorious feeling of hope

Walks through the doubt and despair

Though the night seem so long

Soon the morning will break

And you'll discover at dawn

What a difference a day makes

For the mother whose child has grown restless and wild

And you feel like your prayers are in vain

And for the father whose plans have slipped right through your hands

You cannot see past all the pains

For the daughters and sons, for the prodigal ones

For the lonely, the weak, are afraid

Though you lose faith in the night, when the morning brings light

It will drive all the shadows away

What a difference a day makes

What a change in the air

When the glorious feeling of hope

Walks through the doubt and despair

Though the night seem so long

Soon the morning will break

And you'll discover at dawn

What a difference a day makes

What a difference a day makes

What a change in the air

When the glorious feeling of hope

Walks through the doubt and despair

Though the night seem so long

Soon the morning will break

And you'll discover at dawn

What a difference a day makes

Though the night seem so long

Soon the morning will break

You'll discover at dawn

What a difference a day makes

You'll discover at dawn

What a difference a day makes

What a difference it makes
