Lyrics

WATCH AND PRAY

79

VERSE 1

You could shake me up, but you could never wake me up

You could call my name, it never woke me up

You could push me over. I would turn around and sleep some more

I loved to sleep, sleeping in the mornings

CHORUS 1

You could wake me up

But I would never rise to pray

You could shake me up

But I would never watch and pray

VERSE 2

My Daddy said to me you’ve got to wake up early in the morning

Read the word and pray. Have your quiet time

He would knock on my door, I could hear him call my name

I would say: daddy please, Iet me sleep some more

CHORUS 1

You could wake me up

But I would never rise to pray

You could shake me up

But I would never watch and pray

INTERLUDE

VERSE 3

What a change has come into my life today

You will see a change when you wake me up

In the day, in the night, I am changed. I can pray all the time

I can stand and call upon the name of the Lord

CHORUS 2

You can wake me up

I will rise and pray

You can knock my door

I will watch and pray

VAMP

You can wake me up

I will watch and pray

Ring, ring, ring my bell

You can ring my bell

Anytime anywhere

Ring it! Ring it!

I will watch and pray

CHORUS 2
