SUNDAY MORNING
A.I.P. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I remember when pops woke us up for church
Singing and dancing excited to hear the word
It was contagious, so eager ready to learn
This little light of mine, I got to let it burn
In a dark and dying world, don't know where to turn
(Look in the sky it's a bird, soaring high to no return)
How I was raised that's why it's church in my verse
3 in 1 trinity, we outside like MO3
Saving lives You can't compete
Pierced his side and rose in 3
Eviction note delivered me
An opened door I'll let You lead
My eyes was closed now I can see
Through every trial get on my knees
If it's Your will then let it be
Yeah
But I can't seem to forget that
The church to my life, had such an amazing impact
I had to learn the church is in You, not where You're sitting at
Christ gave his son did it with love, never repaying that
The building and the pews, is just where You can give it back
Praise Him in advance, sing it like Marvin Sapp
Watch me do my dance, check out the stance, let me get a hand clap
Dinner rolls, fat back, green beans, chicken Mac
After church, it's a wrap
NFL, go relax
Enjoy the fam, catch a laugh
A Sunday no church I never had
But, that's just who I am
Merely a mortal man, trying to be all I can
A solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand
Thank You Lord, You're the Man but some of them won't understand
My whole life has changed
Since You came into my heart, life has never been the same
You always come through
There's no one like You, that can do what You do
On Sunday Morning, It's Sunday Morning (Not just another phrase we got to give me praise)
On Sunday Morning, It's Sunday Morning (Wake up and hear the word we gotta go to church)




On Sunday Morning, It's Sunday Morning (Not just another phrase we got to give me praise)
On Sunday Morning, It's Sunday Morning (Wake up and hear the word we gotta go to church)
