Today


Today, the grass is greener than I have ever seen.
Today, the sky is bluer than it has ever been.
And today, my heart is beating like I've never felt it beat.
And today, the flowers are growing from 
the ground beneath my feet.

Today, my hope is stronger and the vision's clearer.
To walk in love eternal, the path that takes me nearer.
And to You, the music's playing like it has never done.
And to You, my feet are dancing underneath the sun.

In You, I live.
In You, I live.
In You, I live and breathe.

And to You, the music's playing like it has never done.
And to You, my feet are dancing underneath the sun.

In You, I live.
In You, I live.
In You, I live and breathe.

In You, I live.
In You, I live.
In You, I live and breathe.

-Iona, "Today"

  1. I have never heard of this vocalist before, but I am enjoying the different sound of this song. I can sing this song as I wonder about in God's beautiful world, singing praise to our God and Creator. "In You, I live and breathe." Amen. Thank you for sharing this with us.

  5. I love the words to this song, Sandi. The music sounds Middle Eastern...(I'm probably way off on that, but I am not familiar with the artist singing). I enjoyed your post. xx

  6. Yona is the name of a biblical prophet. (In hebrew it also means 'dove','pigeon').
    If you remove the last letter from the title, that is, leaving the word 'Toda', this word means Thanks.
    Thank you God for the things I see and feel today. It shows Praise and Gratitude to God.
