Before You Even Got Up, He Was There
Lamentations 3:22–23 — “Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his mercies never fail. They are new every morning…”
Psalm 139:1–3 — “You have searched me, Lord, and you know me… Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.”
Psalm 139:17–18 — “How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand.”
Matthew 6:34 — “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.”
Isaiah 40:29 — “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.”
Romans 8:38–39 — “Neither death nor life… nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God…”
You don’t have to earn God’s attention today. You already have it. His mercies aren’t doled out based on your performance—they’re renewed before your feet hit the floor. He knew your sleepless night. He sees your silent fears. And He’s not waiting for a polished prayer—He’s leaning in to your sigh. This isn’t passive comfort; it’s active grace. You’re not alone in your anxiety because you were never outside His care. Rest in this: your day begins in His embrace—not your effort.
song lyrics from Zeb of Virginia Beach
from his song I Ain’t Perfect (But I’m Saved)
I got problems could make a grown man cry
And I fall short though God you know I try
Walkin in worn out boots on roads unpaved
Well I ain’t perfect but I’m saved
No I ain’t perfect but I’m saved X 2
It’s only Jesus that made me brave, I claimed one honest moment before the grave
cuz I ain’t perfect but now I’m saved
yeah i’m saved, saved, saved (say it again)
saved saved saved, saved, saved!
Aint nothin I could do, my salvation Lord is all on you
your loving grace your faith so true
my blood ain’t never been praised
let me tell ya, I ain’t perfect but I’m saved
prechorus/chorus
Bridge:
He reached out to me, He’ll do the same for you
Step out of His way, that’s all ya gotta do to let him through
You got problems give Jesus a try Just gotta pray, He’s standin by
Get off that crooked road and follow his way
You ain’t perfect but you can be saved
No you ain’t perfect but you can be saved X 2
step on up be honest and brave, claim one honest moment before the grave
you ain’t perfect but you can be saved
Lord, thank You that I don’t have to chase Your presence—I wake up inside it. Meet me in my weakness. Let Your mercies carry me today. Amen.
