Lyrics
Monday, new week same stuff
Got work I don't wanna' wake up
Thankful that You gave me life
Even though I don't always do right
Tuesday, I done had enough
Keep pushing even though it's tough
Loyal, even when I'm not
Each day I get another shot
So my mind's made up
I'ma stay prayed up
It's been a long week
I don't wanna' have to wait 'til Sunday
I need You always
Not just for one day
(Oh Lord) I don't wanna' have to wait 'til Sunday
I need You always
Not just for one day
I don't wanna have to wait 'til
Wednesdays, don't bother me much
Thursdays easy 'cause I got Your love
Throwback to before I knew what it was
Now I don't stress about no Friday's 'cause
Friday when the check gone come
Ten percent then I can have a little fun
Weekend I can chill or some
Me and You a little one on one
So my mind's made up
I'ma stay prayed up
It's been a long week
I don't wanna' have to wait 'til Sunday
I need You always
Not just for one day
(Oh Lord) I don't wanna' have to wait 'til Sunday
I need You always
Not just for one day
I don't wanna' have to wait 'til
I really need you on Monday
I really need you Tuesday
I really need you Wednesday
Oh I don't wanna' have to wait
Thursday, I don't wanna' have to wait
Friday, I don't wanna have to wait
Saturday
I don't wanna have to wait 'til Sunday
I need You always
Not just for one day
(Oh Lord) I don't wanna' have to wait 'til Sunday
I need You always
Not just for one day
I don't wanna' have to wait 'til
Sunday
Sunday
Always
One day
To wait 'til Sunday

Meaning & Inspiration
Sunday follows the rhythm of an ordinary week to express a need for God that is not confined to church attendance. Work, fatigue, money, gratitude, and personal shortcomings all appear in the verses, giving the song a practical setting. Its recurring desire to remain prayed up presents prayer as a daily posture rather than a response reserved for crisis or worship services. The contrast between each weekday and Sunday reinforces the central confession: dependence on God continues through every part of life.
The chorus gives that confession a simple, memorable form by repeating the need for God always and not for one day. The later roll call from Monday through Saturday broadens the point without changing it, portraying faith as steady companionship across routine responsibilities. Gratitude for life and another chance also adds a note of mercy to the weekly cycle. In biblical terms, the song aligns closely with continual prayer and the daily renewal of compassion. Its message is therefore less about a particular day than about sustained fellowship, gratitude, and trust throughout the entire week.
