Early morning, waking up
 I rise from off my bed
 And realize quite instantly
 That I am not dead
 So I shake my head real slowly
 From side to side it flows
 And a smile comes upon my face
 It's time to praise the Lord
  
 I praise Him that He gives me breath
 To wake me up this day
 I praise Him that my eyes still work
 To see me on my way
 I praise Him that I hear the sounds
 That filter through my room
 I praise Him that He's there with me
 That I am not alone
  
 I praise Him that my arms and hands
 Still have the strength to hold
 I praise Him that my legs will work
 To take me where untold
 I praise Him that I feel His love
 Still shining from above
 I praise Him that His spirit
 Still comes in like a dove
 
 And now, five minutes in the day
 I know His wondrous grace
 Has kept me through the night again
 So I can praise His name
