Wake Up To Jesus

WAKE UP TO JESUS
Early in the morning when you tumble out of bed,
Say a little prayer to Jesus
Thank him for the sleep you’ve hand,
And for the day ahead.
Say a little prayer to Jesus!
Wake up sleepy head,
Rise and shine, get out of bed;
Get washed, get dressed and then get fed;
Wake up, wake up to Jesus!

After you’ve had breakfast and you’re ready for the day
Say a little prayer to Jesus
Ask the Lord to guide in everything you do and say
Say a little prayer to Jesus
So smile, let your heart be glad,
Don’t be grumpy, don’t be sad
Give thanks to your heavenly Dad,
Wake up, wake up to Jesus.

Keith & Linda Ross
