Rise, Shine

What I think is funny about the song that was in my head this morning is that I truly thought the words were "Rise, Shine! Let your glory fill this land!" This morning I didn't want to get out of bed. For several days, I have let anxiety paralyze me, and I haven't gotten out of bed when I should... This morning I knew I had things I needed to do, and if I allowed myself to lay there, I would just feel bad about myself later... But the anxiety makes it so hard to move... I woke up, and the very first thing I heard in my head was, "RISE! SHINE!"... It seemed a pretty clear message. :) 

Now that I have looked up the lyrics, I see that those aren't actually the words. But regardless, when I woke up this morning, what I heard was a message to GET UP and out of the bed. 

The Way
Jeremy Camp 

All creation cried out with longing
With groans only You could comprehend
And with wisdom, You always answer
And give the words of life so unfailing

And Your glory shines all around us
Your faithfulness shown for all to see
When we think of all of Your wonders
The beauty of Your plan that's been revealed
We walk in Your light, we walk in it

Shine, bright
Let Your glory fill this land
Lift high, the King of Kings and great I am
Jesus, You are the way

We can see the works of Your loving hands
With a hope and peace not made by man
When You poured out Your grace and Your mercy
And You held out Your arms so we could see
You bled for all mankind and set the captives free

Shine, bright
Let Your glory fill this land
Lift high, the King of Kings and great I am
Jesus, You are the way
