Time / Lullaby Prelude

(album: Wake Up - 2012)

Good morning, it's the day that I have made
And it's yours to rejoice in
By the way it's the Lord here
And that sunshine, it is your gift
From me to you, it is free to you
I hope you cherish it not how most people do
So awake, sleeping beau
All night it was me dreaming in you
Breathing in you, speaking to you
I kept your blood flowing and heart beating too
In your slumber, it was me keeping you
Must've been good sleep too homie peep the drool
Now it's time to get up
Open your eyes and sit up
This morning, I hope it's me that you visit with
Cuz last night, you went to sleep so oblivious
To the day that I gave to you yester
I kept you out your tombstone
Not the pizza but the western
Let you go out, live your life, and then I brought you home
To your bed to shut your eyes
But you never said a much obliged
So last night I cried
And in your brain, you thought it was the rain
Here we are, I've given you your heart
I've given you your mind
I've given you your eyes
Open them, and see that I've given you more time
To offer me your heart
To offer me your mind
To lend me your sight
Cuz no sooner than later, I'll be sending your Christ

Bad morning
I think that this day is gon' prove to be more than
More than you can handle right now
So you might as well lay it back down
Back to your unconsciousness
Cuz in that bliss problems don't exist
In that world you can turn Christ off
Why the heck you think you sleep with the lights off?
Cuz darkness is where I shine
His sun is too bright so close them blinds
Screw the alarm, that's what the snooze is for
Who am I? You can call me Lucifer
But my friends call me flesh
The best prince of hell's air, yeah, my friends call me fresh
We've already met, we kicked it all day
All day yesterday, no work, all play
No Christ, all self, cuz when the problems came through
Your Christ was no help when you was in that pickled place
He gave you a little mercy
But then tricked you with sufficient grace
But me, being Mr. Nice Guy
I help while you was in it
And Jesus Christ, really is a nice guy
Don't put Him away, just kinda shelf Him for a minute
Don't offer Him your heart
Don't offer Him your eyes
Trust me, He won't mind dude
Not just yet, Jesus Christ ain't coming no time soon
Instead, offer me your heart
Offer me your mind
I'm kinda tired chasing 'em
Time is so much work to use, but so much more fun wasting it

It's morning?
I feel like I just laid down, like I just got to snoring
Just closed my eyes and slipped on jammies
7 a.m. already? Dang, it can't be
Well, it's time to eat my fast break
First I gotta take a brush to these cold gates
Necessity, because my breath is on stank
Then I can slide downstairs and eat some froze flakes
No wait, I got a choice to make
I could choose to lift my voice to pray
Acknowledge what the Lord has made, and rejoice this day
Be thankful that your boy is awake
Or, I could go back to sleep
Waste the time that I was given to keep
Waste the time that was given to me
Cuz then again, it ain't that deep, but then my heart says
That's not an option, who woke you up man?
You know you clocked it in, wake up
And I reply, that all of that is true
So God, my time, I offer it to you
Offer You my heart
I offer You my eyes
I offer You my mind
I'm not a genius, but I realized that you have offered me more time
So here it is, morning
Not a coincidence that I feel like a war's been
Going on while I was snoring, don't know what the score is
But I know that You Lord win
So I offer You my thoughts
I offer You my dimes
I offer You my speech
You've offered me mercy
So my life is the offering this time
