Smellin' Coffee: Look who's swooping by...

Look who's swooping by...

I know, I know. It looks like a chicken. But it's not. It's a hawk. And it is apparently living in our backyard, which means Pepper the 10 lb Shih Tzu gets an escort for every trip outside.

Smellin' Coffee... by 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!
