Andrew Peterson - Rise and shine

I rem^Gember how the snow fell in December And an^Cgels flew in pageants and in dreams And I c^Amame in at six o'clock from a long hard day of playing To the wa^Crmth of Mama's cookin' Or was it the warmth of Mama's lo^Gve?

There were ca^Grdboard pirate ships and mud puddle seas And the b^Cackyard was a battleground for cowboys When D^Amaddy drug me outta bed on early Sunday morning I r^Cemember how he smiled at me and said--

He said, "^GRise, rise and sh^Cine The d^Amay is coming on And you know the n^Cight is gone So ri^Gse."

I rem^Gember how the shepherds lay in slumber And the a^Cngels came and broke them from their dreams When ^AmMary raised her weary head And J^Amoseph stood there grinning The wo^Crld awoke to the coming of a king

There were h^Gaystacks in his palace And a ma^Gnger was his throne As a h^Cush fell on the little town of David And the h^Amillside never shined so bright As ^Amearly Christmas morning You could al^Cmost hear the very heavens sing

They sang, "R^Gise, rise and sh^Cine The ^Amsun is coming in And the morning li^Cght is shining in Your e^Gyes, oh rise and sh^Cine The ^Amday is coming on And you know the ni^Cght is gone so r^Emise"

I re^Emmember how the sunlight turned to thunder And the pe^Cople ran for shelter from the rain And the c^Amurtain tore and the saints awoke And the w^Amhole earth seemed to tremble From the f^Cury of God's anger Or was it the fury of Hi^Gs love?

There were sh^Gadows on the tomb there in the garden And the m^Cist was rising slowly through the trees When ^AmMary saw the silhouette on early Easter morning I rem^Cember how he smiled at her and said

He said, "R^Gise, rise and sh^Cine The s^Amun is coming in And the morning l^Cight is shining in Your e^Gyes, oh rise and sh^Cine The d^Amay is coming on And you know the ni^Cght is gone so r^Gise"
