Song Meaning
The song follows a worker through an ordinary, grinding day — hitting snooze forty times, clocking in to pay dues, staying polite on the phone while the mind drifts elsewhere, then coming home to a second shift of chores: sorting laundry, patching a vacuum hose, scrubbing the toilet, mowing, three sets of eight on the chest. Every mundane detail builds toward a single payoff: shutting the door, putting on a praise CD, taking the phone off the hook, turning off the light, and lying back to clear the mind. That quiet room becomes the setting for an intimate address — "Hey God, it's me" — and the chorus frames worship as a scheduled appointment the singer has been anticipating all day, a private meeting where heart, soul, and mind are offered and everything else is left behind. The humor of the verses keeps the devotion from feeling precious; the repetition of the chorus and the echoing "leave it all behind" turns a small domestic ritual into something like a discipline, a deliberate carving out of solitude with God in the middle of an unremarkable life.

After forty times of hitting snooze
I slip on the shirt and grab my shoes
I head to work to pay my dues
Just another week of the same old stuff
Work my fingers all the way to the bone
I'm polite to customers on the phone
My body's working but my mind is gone
I just can't wait to get home
And shut the door grab a praise cd and turn it up
Take the phone off the hook and turn the light off
Lay down lay my head back and clear my thoughts
Hey God it's me
I've been waiting for this time all day long
So that we could be all alone
To worship You with my heart, my soul, and my mind
And leave it all behind
Separate all my laundry clothes
Repaired the hole in the vacuum hose
Wiped the grime off the toilet bowl
Gotta do the dishes before I mow
Then do three sets of eight on chest
Cause I gotta keep my shape in check
Everything else I do will have to wait
Cause I got a very important date
Shut the door grab a praise cd and turn it up
Take the phone off the hook and turn the light off
Lay down lay my head back and clear my thoughts
Hey God it's me
I've been waiting for this time all day long
So that we could be all alone
To worship You with my heart, my soul, and my mind
And leave it all behind
I've been waiting for this time all day long
So that we could be all alone
To worship You with my heart, my soul, and my mind
And leave it all behind
I've been waiting for this time all day long
(leave it all behind)
So that we could be all alone
(leave it all behind)
To worship You with my heart, my soul, and my mind
(leave it all behind)
And leave it all behind
