Let's Go for a Drive

Lord I have things on my mind
Let's go for a drive
I'll grab my keys
what time is it?...5?
A.M

Oh well
Let's still go
just you and me Lord
on the road

Dawn is just starting to wake
the stars are fading out
my heart and mind are turning
"what's this all about?"

the windows are down
your crisp air pours in
filling my lungs
this morning 5 A.M.

I push on the gas
speeding down the trail
some back road to neverland
like a kite I sail

My worries are fading
The speedometer is climbing
its you and me lord
and peace I am finding

we duke it out in this 5am trip
to who knows where
but its a place where I'm real
my savior and I a pair

In my shortcomings,
You take me as I am
You give me a hope
you grab my hand

Time to drive back home
The sun is starting to rise
The stars a gone now
like my troubles to my surprise

Back home I drive
Just you and me
now its 8 AM
I think Ill go for coffee

Just you and me
I'll pour a cup
sit on my porch with you
and watch the sun come up


To aGod who never sleeps
thanks for the drive at 5 AM
I know I can surrender to you
Another day we will drive again
