New for Old

By Mike Hall, September 30, 2026

Ther is a marvelous singer from England by the name of Phillippa Hanna.

She recorded a song years ago called New for Old which can be a great reminder for us daily.

Here’s a portion of the lyrics.

Every Monday morning you will find him at the store
If someone has thrown away something he knows he can restore

He blows the dust from off the surface
Traces each and every line
And with scarred and weathered fingers
Holds it up towards the light
He knows exactly what he has to do to bring it back to life
Nothing is worthless for the one who sees the gold

There is nothing that’s beyond repair
There is no one too far gone
Can’t your eyes see what can be done
With a little love

Just blow the dust from off the surface of each tired and weary life
There’s a diamond to discover when you hold it to the light
Cause everyone is someone’s treasure when there’re loved and that is why
Nothing’s worthless for the one who sees the gold
New for old.

 

Yes indeed…There is nothing that’s beyond repair

There is no one too far gone

Can’t your eyes see what can be done

With a little love

 

 

Love to hear if this song enlightens you a bit regarding someone in your life.
