What It Means to Wake Up

Sometimes, when life feels hopeless

Or

My day ahead seems

Rough

And, 

I don’t want to get up

I remember 

Who got up for me

When my alarm clock shouts

And my eyelids

Lift

I ask for strength

And

Wisdom

When I swing my legs

Out of bed

I ask God to

Let me be

A representation of

Him

That he will be

What they see

My motivation

My aim

My dream

For the day

For this year

For my life

Is to show what God

Has done

How in my sin

He

Had mercy

And grace

And saved

Me

If I can bless someone else

Accomplish something epic

Create something 

Beautiful

Then my waking up

Will mean

Something
