Mississippi Mass Choir - When I Rose This Morning Lyrics
Lyrics
Chorus:
This morning when I rose I didn't have no doubt
This morning when I rose I didn't have no doubt
This morning when I rose I didn't have no doubt
I know the Lord will take care of me
I know the Lord will provide for me and
I know He will lead and guide me all the way
I woke up this morning to a brand new day
I didn't have no doubt
I woke up this morning to a brand new day
I didn't have no doubt
I woke up this morning to a brand new day
I didn't have no doubt
I know the Lord will take care of me
I know the Lord will provide for me
And I know He will lead and guide me all the way
I woke this morning with the Holy Ghost
I didn't have no doubt
I woke up this morning with the Holy Ghost
I didn't have no doubt
I said get up this morning with the Holy Ghost
I felt like talking
I felt like talking
He's been so Good
He's be so gracious
I felt like praying
I felt like praying
Our Father who art in Heaven
I felt like singing
I felt like singing
gonna sing for Jesus
gonna sing for Jesus
I felt like running
I felt like running
Gonna run for Jesus
While the blood is
still warm in my veins
I felt like shouting
I felt like shouting
Oh Shout
Oh Shout
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I know the Lord will take care of me
And I know He will lead and guide me all the way
Yes, all the way

The Mississippi Mass Choir - When I Rose This Morning
Meaning & Inspiration
The Mississippi Mass Choir's "When I Rose This Morning," released on February 2, 2011, is a powerful declaration of faith and gratitude, drawing deeply from the wellspring of biblical truth. This anthem doesn't just speak to a single morning; it encapsulates a profound and enduring spiritual awakening, a consistent reliance on God's grace that defines the believer's experience. The core message echoes the Psalmist's joyous exclamation in Psalm 118:24, "This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it." The choir masterfully conveys the understanding that each new day is a divine gift, a testament to God's faithfulness even when our own strength falters.
The song's profound impact lies in its direct correlation with the biblical narrative of God's constant provision and protection. The very act of rising in the morning, a simple yet fundamental human experience, is presented as a miracle, a continuation of the life and breath bestowed by the Creator. This resonates with passages like Lamentations 3:22-23, which speaks of God's mercies being new every morning, His faithfulness being great. The choir's impassioned delivery amplifies this truth, transforming the simple act of waking into a sacred moment of acknowledging divine sovereignty. It's an affirmation that even in the face of life's inevitable challenges, God’s presence is the unwavering foundation, a truth captured in Hebrews 13:5: "I will never leave you nor forsake you."
"When I Rose This Morning" serves as a robust reminder of the enduring power of hope, a hope rooted not in worldly circumstances but in the unshakeable promises of God. The song embodies the spirit of Romans 8:28, which assures believers that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. The choir's performance artfully conveys a trust that transcends understanding, an unwavering belief that the Lord is the source of strength and salvation, as proclaimed in Isaiah 12:2, "Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation." This is more than just a musical piece; it is a vibrant testament to a faith that actively engages with the divine, finding solace, strength, and an unyielding spirit of worship in the dawn of each new day.
