Mary Mary - Get Up Lyrics
Layin’ low
Rest n’ pause
Sleeping long
Slow motion
Gonna do
Shoulda, coulda
Woulda done
Excuses
What are you afraid of?
Don’t you know
What you’re made of?
One of God’s
Greatest creations
Take this invitation now
Get up
‘Cause you can’t stop
Get up
Got a lot to do
24 hours
Almost gone
Get up
Don’t sit there
Get up
If you wanna get there
Clocks don’t stop and
Time won’t wait
He said
She said
They said
What do you say?
It’s your dreams
Your choice
Your time
Your life
So don’t you
Don’t you
Miss it
What are you afraid of?
Don’t you know
What you’re made of?
One of God’s
Greatest creations
Take this invitation now
Get up
‘Cause you can’t stop
Get up
Got a lot to do
24 hours
Almost gone
Get up
Don’t sit there
Get up
If you wanna get there
Clocks don’t stop and
Time won’t wait
Welcome to the rest
Of your life
From now on, just try
To live more, want more
Work a little harder
Dance more, laugh more
Be a little smarter
Hug a little longer
Love a little stronger
You’ve been down
But now it’s time to
Get up
‘Cause you can’t stop
Get up
Got a lot to do
24 hours
Almost gone
Get up
Don’t sit there
Get up
If you wanna get there
Clocks don’t stop and
Time won’t wait (2x)
One more time, say
Get up (9x)

I love this song!! This song is a testament to us all. I commend Mary Mary for what they are doing with their music. I have heard some people say that this song is not true Gospel because it doesn’t have Jesus in it. If the Gospel is the good news then that’s exactly what it is. This song encourages everyone to live in the spirit of God. What greater news is there? Life is about living and using the greatness that God has put within you to manifest greatness in your life and in the lives of others. Get up and make it happen, God is with, you don’t have to be afraid, go for it!! That is the message of this song and it is absolutely correct. That is the TRUTH speaking LOUDLY, “Them that have ears let them hear.” Amen & Halleluyah :)

What can I say? Mary Mary are ‘da GeePee(gospel) bomb’. Heard ‘Get up’ first, online(as d 1st single from d Album), when d new Mary Mary website was being uploaded. Since then it’s been ‘Get up’ and me all d way, whenever am online.
Recently, when Mary Mary dished out ‘Get up’ at ‘The Experience, Lagos’ (in my country), u can’t imagine d overwhelming applause. For me, this song is adding to d Mary Mary ‘GRAMMY’ collection.

This song is like something you would want to set to your alarm clock in the morning! Also it sooooo speaks to the new season that is quickly approaching for not only myself but for all us Christians that are entering that new thing God has prepared for us. I praise God for Mary Mary and letting Him use them in this time and season. They show us that God is always up to something new and fresh for our generation.
