Lyrics
Verse 1
Sun's up, I'm smiling slow
Pour that brew, let the blessings flow
Steam rising, faith on ten
Here we go again
Take a sip, take a breath
Ain't no rush, no stress
Got the good book by my side
And that peace I can't hide
Chorus (x2)
Need Jesus and my coffee
That's all I need to start my day
No matter what's out there waiting
My worries fade away
He fills my cup, he warms my soul
And every sip makes me whole
Jesus and my coffee
Everything's going to be okay
Verse 2
Bills due, phone won't quit
But I ain't losing joy one bit
Turn that radio nice and loud
Sing my praises
I got joy in my cup, yeah
Love in my hand
A little bit of heaven when the day begins
Can't nobody steal my groove
When I start my day with you
Bridge / Ad-libs
Stir it up
Take a breath, take a breath
Let the joy, let the joy begin
Do it again
Final Chorus
Meet Jesus and my coffee
That's all I need today
If the world gets wild, I'm smiling
'Cause He going to make a way
He fills my cup, he warms my soul
And every sip makes me whole
Jesus and my coffee
Everything's going to be okay
Outro
Jesus and my coffee
Good love, good grace, good brew
Can't stop me
Jesus and my coffee
Everything's going to be okay

Meaning & Inspiration
“Jesus and My Coffee” by Solomon Ray is a light, gospel-soul song about starting the day in the company of Jesus. The first verse pictures a slow, smiling morning, pouring a cup, reading “the good book,” and feeling a peace that cannot be hidden. The chorus makes the point plainly: “Need Jesus and my coffee, that’s all I need to start my day.”
The second verse admits that bills are due and the phone will not stop, yet the singer says joy is not lost, because praise is turned up loud. The image of a cup that is filled and a soul that is warmed carries the song’s main comparison, pairing a small daily comfort with the care of Jesus. The bridge asks for a breath and for joy to begin again.
The filled cup recalls Psalm 23:5, the morning devotion is close to Psalm 5:3, and the refusal to worry echoes Philippians 4:6-7. The tone is warm, humorous, and trusting.
