You could shake me up, but you could never wake me up
You could call my name, it never woke me up
You could push me over, I would turn around and sleep some more
I loved to sleep, sleeping in the mornings
 
You could wake me up
But I would never rise to pray
You could shake me up
But I would never watch and pray

You could wake me up
But I would never rise to pray
You could shake me up
But I would never watch and pray
 
My daddy said to me you've got to wake up early in the morning
Read the word and pray, have a quiet time
He would knock on my door, I could hear him call my name
I would say: daddy please, let me sleep some more
 
You could wake me up
But I would never rise to pray
You could shake me up
But I would never watch and pray

You could wake me up
But I would never rise to pray
You could shake me up
But I would never watch and pray
 
What a change has come into my life today
You will see a change when you wake me up
In the day, in the night, I am changed, I can pray all the time
I can stand, I can call upon the name of the Lord
 
You can wake me up
I will rise and pray
(You can shake me up) You can knock my door
I will watch and pray

You can wake me up! (You can wake me up)
I will rise and pray
You can knock my door
I will watch and pray
 
You can wake me up
I will watch and pray
(I will watch and pray)
You can knock my door
Anytime anywhere
(Shake me, shake me I will watch and pray)

You can wake me up
I will rise and pray
(I will watch and pray)
You can wake me up
Anytime, anywhere
(Wake me, shake me I will watch and pray)

Wake me up
I will rise and pray
You can knock my door
I will watch and pray

You can wake me up!
I will rise and pray
You can knock my door
I will watch and pray

You can wake me up!
I will rise and pray
You can knock my door
I will watch and pray
