Lyrics

[verse]
Sunday morning
as the sun comes up. 
Smell’n that coffee
from my daddy’s cup. 
Mama cook’n bacon
in the fry’n pan. 
Little sister’s in the kitchen
giv’n Mom a hand. 
Hurry! Get ready!
Look’n at the clock. 
Press my pants 
& find my socks. 
Where’s my tie?
How about my shirt. 
It’s time to go. 
It’s time for church.. 

[Chorus]
Rise & shine
It’s a brand new day.. 
We’re headed out 
& we won’t be late. 
All the church 
is gathered round. 
God’s com’n down
to our hometown. 
No time for wait’n
or mov’n slow. 
Get ready. O!
Here we go!

[verse]
Our Lord is com’n
& it won’t be long. 
We’ll all be sing’n
that goodbye song. 
Old Death may come 
& bury me
in a chilly grave
so damp & deep. 
To live is Christ. 
To die is gain. 
If I go now
He knows my name. 
With an angels shout
& a trumpet sound,
I’m bust’n out 
of that hard ground. 

[Chorus]
Rise & shine
It’s a brand new day.. 
We’re headed out 
& we won’t be late. 
All the church 
is gathered round. 
God’s com’n down
to our hometown. 
No time for wait’n
or mov’n slow. 
Get ready. O!
Here we go!
