mid tempo 'kind of a country boys meet British-pop' sound
Story behind the song
He shall return like a thief in the night...without a warning... Let's be ready
Lyrics
When I woke up Monday morning
I had some aches I had some pain
I wasn't ready for the dawning
No, no, I wasn't ready for the rain
Then I heard a distant thunder
And the Lord filled up my mind
Oh my heart began to wunder
Could this be the chosen time
When we wake up in the morning
When we rise upon that day
He'll have come without a warning
Come to take us all away
Like a thunder in the distance
Like a dawning in the spring
When we wake up in the morning
In the presence of the King
There'll be no more crying yonder
No more tears and no more shame
Every son and every daughter
Will be known to Him by name
And the morning will grow brighter
As we walk toward the throne
Every burden getting lighter, yeah, yeah
With each step we take toward home
When we wake up in the morning
When we rise upon that day
He'll have come without a warning
Come to take us all away
Like a thunder in the distance
Like a dawning in the spring
When we wake up in the morning
In the presence of the King
When we wake up in the morning
When we rise upon that day
He'll have come without a warning
Come to take us all away
Like a thunder in the distance
Like a dawning in the spring
When we wake up in the morning
In the presence of the King
When we wake up in the morning
In the presence of the King
When we wake up in the morning
