[Intro: Mike Malagies]
Uh, yeah, okay
[Chorus: Mike Malagies]
Wake up in the morning, first thing that I do is thank God
Rep the number seven for the Lord, ain't talking James Bond
Hit the gym spiritually, so Jesus, help me stay strong
Praise God, boy, I got a great God
That's why when I-
Wake up in the morning, first thing that I do is thank God
Wake up in the morning, first thing that I do is thank, thank
Wake up in the morning, first thing that I do is thank God
Praise God, boy, I got a great God, (Ayy)
[Verse 1: Mike Malagies]
Your love endures forever, You keep on getting better
I be chasing after You, I got no time to chase the-
Che-che-che-che-cheddar cheese
No hate in my heart, that's why I'm praying for my enemies
I don't talk, I let 'em see, Jesus is a friend of me, (He my [?] one)
So why would I need yo' approval? (I don't need it)
When I talk about my life, I bet they think I'm so unusual, (They do, uh)
The Holy Spirit give me drive, I never go in neutral
Secret place, daily, man, that's so crucial
Yes, uh, without my Lord and Savior, boy, my life would be a mess, (Oof)
Up against the dark world, I don't wrestle with the flesh, (With the flesh)
Far from being perfect, I haven't made it, I confess, (I confess)
I guess, that I ain't gotta be great, (Why?)
Because my God the best, (G.O.A.T)
You stacking all that money but I'm really not impressed, (I'm not)
I'm stashing treasure inside my eternal treasure chest, (I got it)
Checkers versus Chess, I'm blessed, that's why when I-
[Chorus: Mike Malagies & Joseph Goulding]
Wake up in the morning, first thing that I do is thank God
Rep the number seven for the Lord, ain't talking James Bond
Hit the gym spiritually, so Jesus, help me stay strong
Praise God, boy, I got a great God
That's why when I-
Wake up in the morning, first thing that I do is thank God
Wake up in the morning, first thing that I do is thank, thank
Wake up in the morning, first thing that I do is thank God
Praise God, boy, I got a great God, (Ayy, ayy)
[Verse 2: Joseph Goulding]
Yeah, I wake up in the morning, I Thank God like I'm Maverick City
[Dissing?] when I worship Him, shoot, I might hit the Griddy
Why should I stop giving praise in the nitty-gritty?
I be thanking God through the pain, I don't need your pity
I remember dreaming of the day that I could put out raps
Now I'm doing shows and people asking for an autograph
It's cray just to say how far God has brought be through this narrow path
More of Him and less of me, yeah, I call that holy math, (Holy math)
Yeah, yeah, and I be grateful, (Uh)
Devil had me starving but with God, I got a plateful
Devil got mud on his face, that's disgraceful
My God already walked in and it's finished, man, I'm faithful
I remember growing up wishing I could do this
But then I walked away from my dreams 'cause I was clueless
I knew that I could rap and I could sing but didn't do it
But I stepped out in faith 'cause my God called me to it (Ayy)
[Bridge: Mike Malagies]
Mmm, I got joy, I got God and He's working on me
They like, "You can't even see Him," but I'm certain homie
They judge me all for the net but they don't personally know me
All I know is, I'ma worship when I-
[Chorus: Mike Malagies]
Wake up in the morning, first thing that I do is thank God
Rep the number seven for the Lord, ain't talking James Bond
Hit the gym spiritually, so Jesus, help me stay strong
Praise God, boy, I got a great God, ayy
