Rise and Shine

(Lyrics originally by Carl Perkins)

Little children do not worry
Oh, you still got lot's of time
There's no need in walkin' backwards
Turn around and rise and shine
If your load always seems heavy
and you're always left behind
Pick yourself up from the ground
and jump right back and rise and shine

Rise and shine early mornin'
Shine your light all through the day
Makes no difference what they tell you
Stand right up and have your say
'Cause the good Lord said he loves you
And through him new strength you'll find
And even though the world may use you
Turn around, go rise and shine

Look at how they done poor Jesus
Why, they nailed him to the cross
When he died out there on Calvary
So the world would not be lost
So no matter how they treat you
If they slap you in your face
Just remember Jesus loves you
And on the cross he took your place

Rise and shine in the early mornin'
Shine your light all through the day
Makes no difference what they tell you
Stand right up and have your say
'Cause the good Lord said he loves you
And through him new strength you'll find
And even though the world may use you
Turn around, go rise and shine

Rise and shine into the mornin'
Shine your light all through the day
Makes no difference what they tell you
Stand by and have your say
'Cause the good Lord said he loves you
And through him new strength you'll find
And even though the world may use you
Turn around, go rise and shine......
