歌詞

Before the cup, before the bread

I bow my head a while

The table's set, the coffee's warm

The light is on the wood

And here before I take a bite

I count the morning good

Not one of these small mercies

Arrived here on its own

This is the day the Lord has made

I will rejoice in it

The quiet and the coffee too

Were made for me to sit

I thank Him for the simple bread

The jam, the folded cloth

The sunlight resting on the chair

The slow unhurried broth

The thanks is small and wobbly

But given all the same

This is the day the Lord has made

I will rejoice in it

The quiet and the coffee too

Were made for me to sit

A day of rest was His idea

He kept one for Himself

So resting at my little table

Is wisdom, not a shelf

Mmm... mmm... mmm

This is the day the Lord has made

I will rejoice in it

The quiet and the coffee too

Were made for me to sit

This is the day the Lord has made

I will rejoice in it

The quiet and the coffee too

Were made for me to sit

Before the cup, before the bread

The thanks was already warm
