If it's hot then give God the glory. If it's not then blame me
If it's hot then give God the glory. If it's not then blame Mitch.
I'm Joe Johnson a local United Methodist Pastor. Before I felt God calling me into the ministry I thought I was going to be a rap artist. For 8 years I did nothing with music until my wife introduced me to a group called "The Gospel Gansters" in 1998. It was an eye opening experience. I was amazed to see people using rap for the glory of God. That day I picked up paper and pen and I haven't put it down yet.
Story behind the song
My youngest son Zachary is hard to wake up. His brother made a ring tone to his alarm clock to wake Zachary up in the morning. It didn't work very well, so this is my attempt to make a ring tone he will wake up to. Wish me luck.
Lyrics
WAKE UP
Wake up, wake up and feel the sunshine Open your eyes up, say good bye to the night time You got a busy day sleepy head The whole world is yours once get out of bed Wake up wake up times a wasting a brand new day is here just get up and face it God blessed you with one more chance Make it the best day that you’ve ever had
I got little boy named Zachary, he’s heavy sleeper alarm goes off, he roles over under the covers deeper I tell him to get up cuz he can’t afford to be late for school He’s talking in his sleep blowing bubbles in his drool He wont wake up, naw, not for nothing I threaten to leave him, he don’t care, cuz he knows that I’m bluffing He’s like a manikin, I’m steady panicking Cuz the school bus driver just honked the horn again Get him up and out the door, his hair is plastered Teeth unbrushed, and his shirts on backwards It starts at night he wont go to sleep, he’s aint focusing He says I can’t got to bed yet daddy cuz we aint done devotions I’m praying to God, I eyes closed and bowed head Lord help me in the morning get this boy out of bed. He’s only 8 years old, yet he sleep like a rock and No, this aint a new song, It’s the ring tone to his alarm clock.
Wake up, wake up and feel the sunshine Open your eyes up, say good bye to the night time You got a busy day sleepy head The whole world is yours once get out of bed Wake up wake up times a wasting
