[Verse 1]
When I wake up in the morning time and see the sun, I say:
Halleleujah, thank you Jesus for waking me up today
I think about his goodness and the wonderful things he's done:
Forgiving me, setting me free and casting my sins away
And soon as I was about to fall, he stepped right in on time
You picked me up, and let me know you had nothing but love for me
And those lonely nights when I thought that I gonna lose my mind (my mind)
Lord, You were my company

[Chorus]
And now I feel joy (when I think about you)
I feel strength (when I think about you)
No pain (when I think about you)
And no rain (when I think about you)
I get glad (when I think about you)
And raise my hands (when I think about you)
Shout your name (when I think about you)
(When I think about you)

[Verse 2]
And in the midst of the storm you were the shelter in my life
Even though (I was doing wrong) and even though (I fell off)
No one can help me out, the way you helped me whenever I was in need
When trouble was chasing, I was weak, you kept your hands on me
My God you sacrificed you life that I might live for eternity
Despite my faults, you heard my cry (yes you did) and forgave my
No one can understand, the way you understand when it comes to my heart
Lord, you gave me a brand new start

[Chorus]
And now I feel joy (when I think about you)
Feel strength (when I think about you)
There is no pain (when I think about you)
No rain (when I think about you)
I get glad (when I think about you)
Raise my hands (when I think about you)
Shout your name (when I think about you) Oh Lord
(When I think about you)

[Bridge]
Listen, even though your doubts will come (doubts will come)
Believe he gave his only son (all of the world)
To all the world, He chose to love (oh, yes he did)
So how can we not (how can we not) send our praises up

[Chorus]
I feel joy (when I think about you)
Feel strength, yeah (when I think about you)
There's no rain (when I think about you)
No more pain (when I think about you)
I get glad, oh (when I think about you)
Then I raise my hands (when I think about you)
Shout your name (when I think about you) Oh I
(When I think about you)
I feel joy (when I think about you)
And peace (when I think about you)
Feel your presence (when I think about you)
Coming over me (when I think about you)
Then I start to fall, yeah (when I think about you)
Down to my knees (when I think about you)
And begin to pray (when I think about you) Lord help me
(When I think about you)
When I see the light (when I think about you)
Start to shine right through (when I think about you)
It's a brand new day (when I think about you)
And my hearts renewed (when I think about you)
And all my fears are gone (when I think about you)
Oh ooh, away (when I think about you)
When my day looks cloudy (when I think about you)
It's gonna be okay (When I think about you)
Hey, yeah, oh ooh (when I think about you)
Ooh Lord (when I think about you)
How you gave me love (when I think about you)
(GAVE ME LOVE)
And I gave you nothing (when I think about you)
(GAVE YOU NOTHING)
How you woke me up (when I think about you)
(HEY)
And, started me on my way (when I think about you)
See you did not have to do it (when I think about you)
But you did it any old way (when I think about you)
(Any old, any old, any old way) (when I think about you)
Yes you did, yes you did (when I think about you)
Yes you did, yes you did (when I think about you)
Yes you did (when I think about you)
HEY (HEY) HEY (HEY) (when I think about you)
HEY (HEY) HEY (HEY) (when I think about you)
HEY (HEY) HEY (HEY) (when I think about you)
HEY (HEY) HEY HEY HEY WOO (when I think about you)
Oh yes (uh) (when I think about you)
(when I think about you)
(when I think about you)
(when I think about you)
(when I think about you)
(when I think about you)

Robert Kelly is a Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, and producer from the South Side of Chicago, Illinois, where he first started performing under the “L” subway tracks as a teenager. This led into his first album, Born Into the 90’s, being released in 1992 as a collaboration between R. Kelly and Public Announcement. R. Kelly wrote and produced the entire album, which contained the #1 R&B hits “Honey Love” and “Slow Dance,” along with the Top 10 R&B hits “She’s Got That Vibe” (#7) and “Dedicated” (#9). The following year, Kelly went on to become a solo act.

In 1993, he released his first solo album, 12 Play, featuring the hits “Bump N' Grind” and “Your Body’s Callin'.” He released a self-titled album in 1995 featuring the hits “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” and “You Remind Me of Something,” while his 1998 double album, R., featured a string of hits, including “I Am Your Angel” with Celine Dion, “When a Woman’s Fed Up,” and his Grammy Award-winning song “I Believe I Can Fly” from the Space Jam soundtrack.
