14300
Lord, you woke me up early one morning
And upon arising I began stretching and yawning.
Just like a thief into the night
You said you'd come oh merciful Lord,
Coming at a time when
I was dreadfully bored.
Now, I my Lord, am ready to receive only thee
Again, as before, but now more sincerely.
Arising out of my bed
Still sleepy and groggy,
I peered out of the window
And the skies seemed foggy.
But Lord, I wanna thank you
For taking me through the best of times,
Because only you know
I've been through the worst of times.
Because all I have done
Was to defile my name,
By taking from others
And showing no shame.
I have been caught
Up into so much hell,
Then I would ask you Lord
Many times, must I fail?
I skipped and I ran
Just like a child of sin,
My thoughts and my actions
Were tremendously wild then.
But you Lord
Have given me another chance,
To walk in your love
Run in your light or to dance your dance.
Never in all of those times
Did I think I'd ever change,
I just had to clean house
Yet it seemed so strange.
I've been given so many things
So much of your grace with love,
You have shown your true colors
Like the rainbows up above.
Today I am more grateful
Than ever in spirit and in heart,
And I'm thanking you Lord
For this brand new start.
