Ray Boltz's song '6 A.M. Blues' contrasts a life of regret and emptiness with the freedom found in Christ. The narrator recalls the cycle of Saturday night excess leading to Sunday morning remorse, singing 'I'm never doing this again' only to repeat it. The song then shifts to a testimony of transformation: meeting Jesus, being set free from that lifestyle, and now joyfully preparing for church. Boltz extends an invitation, urging listeners to trust in God's love and take hold of the nail-scarred hand of Jesus, promising they never have to return to those blues. It's a straightforward gospel message of redemption and new life.

Well it's 6AM
And it's Sunday morning
I'm never doing this again blues
Well it's 6AM
And it's Sunday morning
I'm never doing this again blues
With a song like that
You just can't win
You can only lose
Singing 6AM on a Sunday morning
I'm never doing this again blues
Well the sun's coming up
Outside of the house
You see it on the window shade
When you look around the room
At all the people strung out
Well you kind of wish
You'd never stayed
Your head is pounding
And you can't go to sleep
You got a burning pain inside
And you wonder why you feel so low
Every time that you get high
And that's when you utter
Those famous words,
I ain't never doing this again
But one week later
After Saturday night
Well, where are you then?
You're singing those
Well I used to sing that song myself
It wasn't long ago
But that was until
That wonderful day
When I first came to know
My God, My Savior, My Coming King
Jesus set me free
Now I know what it means to sing
I was blind but now I see
And friend, He'll do the same for you
God loves you and that's a fact
Put your hand in the nail scarred
Hand of Jesus
And you never ever have to go back
To singing them
No more 6AM on a Sunday morning
I'm never doing this again blues
No more 6AM on a Sunday morning
I'm never doing this again blues
You'll be praising the Lord
Getting ready for church
Looking forward to some spiritual truths
Instead of 6AM on a Sunday morning
I'm never doing this again blues
