Smellin' Coffee?

Why do you call your blog "smellin' coffee"? Isn't that, you know, a little weird...(?!)

It is my absolute favorite song of all time. It's all about grace. It's all about Jesus. It's all about His sacrifice to pay for my sins. It's all about Him. And how/why He lets me come along for the ride, I do not know. What I do know is that I am forever grateful that He chose me to know Him!!!

What a JOY it is to wake up every morning to His mercy streaming in with the morning light! So... I'm smellin' coffee...
and it's a good morning, Lord!

Smellin' Coffee (Chris Rice)

Last thing I remember sayin’ bye to yesterday
Glad to see it over, pullin’ covers over my head
But what were You doin’ while I dreamt the night away‘
Cause I can tell that somethin’s different and
My eyes ain’t even open yet

I’m smellin’ coffee, birds are singin’ just outside
Here comes Your mercy streamin’ in with the morning light
My heart is racin’, wakin’ up to You’re smile
It’s a good mornin’, good mornin’

I remember readin’ You’re the God who never sleeps
And while I’ve been dreamin’
You’ve been singin’ over me, yeah
Singin’ about my freedom,
wakin’ me up to hear Your song
Now I can’t dance hard enough
‘Cause yesterday is gone, gone, gone!

I’m smellin’ coffee, birds are singin’ just outside
Here comes Your mercy streamin’ in with the morning light
My heart is racin’, wakin’ up to You’re smile
It’s a good mornin’, good mornin’

Every little breath, every heartbeat
Is a gift of love that You give to me
You keep givin’ even when I’m asleep
‘Cause I know You never stop watchin’ over me
I wake up, my past is gone
‘Cause Your mercy’s new with the mornin’ sun
I’m forgiven, I’m free, it’s a brand new day
‘Cause Your faithfulness is the greatest, hey!

I’m smellin’ coffee, birds are singin’ just outside
Here comes Your mercy streamin’ in with the morning light
My heart is racin’, wakin’ up to Your smile
It’s a good mornin’, good mornin’
