I should have stayed in bed today

Today of all days

Then maybe temptation wouldn't find me

And entice me to the grave

 

I should have stayed in bed today

So then I wouldn't have to fight the good fight

I should have burried my head beneath my sanctuary

Instead of defying the power of God's might

 

I should have stayed right where I woke today

If I hadn't gotten up I might never have strayed

I might never have broken another promise

I could have stayed in bed and prayed

 

Instead I woke out of bed today

Intent on singing the praises in my heart

I woke with the endurance of the Lord

To make sure I do my part

 

Because I woke out of bed today

God gave me the chance to speak His awsome name

I spoke to those who were lost

And to those who fellowshiped the same

 

I woke this morning and out of my bed I crawled

In my pocket were some seeds to sow

With the love I have for my Saviour

I spoke the truth I yearn for others to know

 

 

Because I woke out of bed this morning

God blessed my day

When I wake again tomorrow

Lord, can You bless me in the same way?
