woke up this morning and my covers were damp with sweat
But I woke up…
I woke up this morning with absolutely, positively unequivocally…no regret
Because… “I woke up”
It might sound odd but I thanked god with much respect
For that pain in my shoulder, for being another day older
Because he hadn’t finished me yet
I woke up this morning
To give for I had been blessed
I woke up this morning to live and to forgive
my debtors their collectors and my all of my debt
I woke up this morning and I was totally impressed
God had done it again, he relieved my stress
And in the process forgave my sins
I woke up, I sat up, I got up and I can’t even pretend
That it was anybody or anything other than god
That touched my heart my friend
I woke up…
