I remember how the shepherds lay in slumber And the angels came and broke them from their dreams And Mary raised her weary head And Joseph stood there grinning When the world awoke to the coming of a king
But there were haystacks in his palace And a manger was his throne And the hillside never shined so bright As early Christmas morning You could almost hear the very heavens sing
They sang, "Rise, rise and shine The sun is coming in And the morning light is shining in Your eyes, rise and shine The day is coming on And you know the night is gone so rise"
I remember how the sunlight turned to thunder And the people ran for shelter from the rain And the curtain tore and the saints awoke And the whole earth seemed to tremble From the fury of God's anger Or was it the fury of his love?
There were shadows on the tomb there in the garden And the mist was rising slowly through the trees And when Mary saw the silhouette on early Easter morning I remember how he smiled at her and said
He said, "Rise, rise and shine The sun is coming in And the morning light is shining in Your eyes, rise and shine The day is coming on And you know the night is gone so rise" Thank you for visiting AllGospelLyrics.com!
