Smellin' Coffee
Rice Chris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Glad to see it over, pullin' covers over my head
But what were you doin' while I dreamt the night away
'Cause I can tell that somethin's different
And my eyes ain't even open yet
[Chorus]
I'm smellin' coffee Birds are singin' just outside
My heart is racing waking up to Your smile
It's a good morning, yeah
It's a good morning
Well I remember readin' You're the God who never sleeps
And while I've been dreamin'
You've been singing over me, yeah
Singin' about my freedom, wakin' me up to hear Your song,
And now I can't dance hard enough
'Cause yesterday is gone, gone, gone!
[Chorus]
Every little breath, every heartbeat
Is a gift of love that You give to me
You keep givin' even when I'm asleep
'Cause I know You never stop watching over me
I wake up, my past is gone
'Cause Your mercy's new with the mornin' sun
I'm forgiven, I'm free, it's a brand new day
'Cause Your faithfulness is the greatest! (Hey!)
[Chorus]
