Smellin' Coffee: If you give a 16-year-old a driver's license...

... and send her with her brothers to Target for milk, you get...

...milk, plus Perry the Platypus...

... who changes into Agent Perry...

... and maybe even the dinosaur from Toy Story, complete
with sound effects. Just squeeze.

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!
