I'm posting a song a day from the Rise Up Singing songbook, which you may or may not know. It's a pretty invaluable resource for song leaders, and useful for anyone who likes to sing in groups. The book doesn't include the melodies to the songs, just the lyrics and some chords, so I’m trying hard to find the tunes I don’t know, learn them, and post them on YouTube for anyone to learn. That’s where these videos are hosted; the blog is just pretty packaging.

Rise and Shine
Sorry I've been away a few days! I'm back and singing still. I just recorded three songs tonight to make up for missing the past three days. Here's the first: Rise and Shine.
Rise Up Singing chapter: Play, p.176
C - F - / C - F - / C - F C / - G C -
I play it like this:
C - F - / C - F - / C - (pause) F / C G C -
Chorus:
Rise and shine and give God the glory, glory (2x)
Rise and shine and (clap!) give God the glory, glory
Children of the Lord
The Lord said to Noah, "There's gonna be a floody, floody (2x)
The whole world is (clap) gonna be muddy, muddy
Children of the Lord
The Lord said to Noah you'd better build an arky, arky (2x)
Build it out of (clap) hickory barky, barky (birchy barky, barky)
Children...
The animals came on board, they came on by twosies, twosies (2x)
Elephants and (clap) kangaroosies, roosies
...
It rained and it rained for forty nights and daisies, daisies (2x)
Almost drove those (clap) animals crazy, crazy
Noah, he looked up annd saw a dovey, dovey (2x)
Saw it up in (clap) heaven a-bovey, bovey
The sun came out and dried up all the landy, landy (2x)
Everythin was (clap) fine and dandy, dandy
This is the end of, the end of my story, story (2x)
Everything was (clap) hunky-dory, dory
