Get up, get up, the Spirit said
Don’t just lie in bed
Let God prepare you for the day
For whatever lies ahead
But the covers felt so nice and warm
All nestled round my head
And instead of choosing to come to God
I chose the bed instead
It didn’t take me long to see
I had made a foolish choice
When I did arise the first thing I heard
Was Mr. Regretful’s voice
I overheard Mr. Doubtful
He was speaking to Mr. Gloom
They plan to visit you today
The time will be at noon
They are bringing their friend Ungrateful
Mister Forgetful too
Who will do his best to make you forget
How good God is to you
I knew I was in trouble
How could I face the day
Right then and there I took the time
To get on my knees and pray
My child a voice gently whispered
Let all the worry cease
Mr. Hopeful, Mr. Thankful, and Mr. Joy
At noon will bring my peace
