Lyrics: Joyful Joyful from Sister Act


Joyful, Joyful
[Solo]
Joyful, Joyful
Lord, we adore Thee
God of glory
Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Hail Thee as the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us with the light
Fill us with the light
Oh, fill us with the light of day......

[Choir]
Joyful, Joyful
Lord, we adore Thee
God of glory
Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Hail Thee as the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin, sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Drive it away
Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us
Fill us with the light of day
Light of day!

[Rap]
(Check the rhyme)
Joyful, Joyful
Lord we adore Thee
An' in my life
I put none before Thee
Cuz since I was a youngster
I came to know
That you was the only way to go
[switch rapper]
So I had to grow an' come to an understandin'
That I'm down with the King so now I'm demandin'
That you tell me who you down with, see
Cuz all I know is that I'm down with G-O-D
You down with G-O-D?
(Yeah, you know me)
You down with G-O-D?
(Yeah, you know me)
You down with G-O-D?
(Yeah, you know me)
Who's down with G-O-D?
(Everybody)

[4 girls]
Come and join the chorus
The mighty, mighty chorus
Which the morning stars begun
The Father of love is reigning over us

[Solo call] Right away

[Choir]
What have you done for Him lately?
Ooh, ooh, ooh yeah
What have you done for Him lately?

He watches over everything
So we sing

Joyful, Joyful
Lord, we adore Thee
God of glory
Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee
Hail Thee as the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin, sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Drive it away
Giver of immortal gladness ([Solo] won't you)
Fill us ([solo] Fill us with the light of day, Lord, fill us)
Fill us ([solo] oh we need You, yes we do, fill us)
Fill us ([solo group] yeah..., oh, oh yeah)
Fill us ([Solo group] with the light of day, Lord)
....
([Solo improvisation] We need you, come right away,
we need you, need you today, we need you,
I'm here to say fill us, fill us, fill us, fill us...)

Fill us with the light of day ([Solo improvisation] oh, yeah)
Light of day!

The lyrics you should work from

 

SOLO
I don't want a lot for Christmas

 There is just one thing I need

 I don't care about the presents

 Underneath the Christmas tree

 I just want you for my own

 More than you could ever know

 Make my wish come true oh

 All I want for Christmas is you

 

CHOIR:

 

 I don't want a lot for Christmas

 There is just one thing I need, and I

 Don't care about the presents

 Underneath the Christmas tree

 I don't need to hang my stocking

 There upon the fireplace

 Santa Claus won't make me happy

 With a toy on Christmas day

 

 I just want you for my own

 More than you could ever know

 Make my wish come true

 All I want for Christmas is you

 

 I won't ask for much this Christmas

 I won't even wish for snow, and I

 I just wanna keep on waiting

 Underneath the mistletoe

 

 I won't make a list and send it

 To the North Pole for Saint Nick

 I won't even stay awake

 To hear those magic reindeer click

 

 'cause I just want you here tonight

 Holding on to me so tight

 What more can I do

 Oh, Baby all I want for Christmas is you

 

 All the lights are shining

 So brightly everywhere

 And the sound of children's

 Laughter fills the air

 

 And everyone is singing

 I hear those sleigh bells ringing

 Santa won't you bring me

 The one I really need

 Won't you please bring my baby to me quickly

 

 I don't want a lot for Christmas

 This is all I'm asking for

 I just wanna see my baby

 Standing right outside my door

 

 I just want you for my own

 More than you could ever know

 Make my wish come true

 Baby all I want for Christmas is you

Pop Choir EVERY WEDNESDAY morning!!!

 

Our first song option for Black History Month is: Am I WRONG (Nico and Vince acoustic)

Learn the lyrics for next Wednesday's rehearsal.

 

 

 

Am I wrong
For thinking out the box from where I stay?
Am I wrong
For saying that I choose another way?
I ain't trying to do what everybody else doin'
Just 'cause everybody doin' what they all do
If one thing I know, I'll fall but I'll grow
I'm walking down this road of mine, this road that I call home

So am I wrong?
For thinking that we could be something for real?
Now am I wrong?
For trying to reach the things that I can't see?
But that's just how I feel,
That's just how I feel
That's just how I feel
Trying to reach the things that I can't see (see, see, see)

Am I trippin'
For having a vision?
My prediction
I'ma be on the top of the world
Walk your walk and don't look back,
Always do what you decide
Don't let them control your life, that's just how I feel oh whoa
Fight for yours and don't let go,
Don't let them compare you, no
Don't worry, you're not alone, that's just how we feel

Am I wrong? (am I wrong?)
For thinking that we could be something for real?
(Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah, oh)
Now am I wrong? (am I wrong?)
For trying to reach the things that I can't see?
(Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah)
That's just how I feel,
But that's just how I feel
That's just how I feel
Trying to reach the things that I can't see (see, see, see)

If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right, right
If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right
If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right, right
If you tell me I'm wrong, wrong
I don't wanna be right

Am I wrong?
For thinking that we could be something for real?
Now am I wrong?
For trying to reach the things that I can't see?
But that's just how I feel,
But that's just how I feel
That's just how I feel
Trying to reach the things that I can't see (see, see, see)

Lyrics

(First Section) I see trees of green,

red roses too,

I see them bloom,

for me and you.

And I think to myself,

What a wonderful world

I see skies of blue and clouds of white

The bright blessed day,

the dark sacred night

And I think to myself,

What a wonderful world.

(Second section) The colours of the rainbow so pretty in the sky

Are also in the faces of people passin' by

I see friends holding  hands saying, 'how do you do'

They're really saying 'I love you'

I hear babies cry,

(ooo, ooo)I watch them grow

They'll learn much more, than I'll ever know

And I think to myself,

What a wonderful word

Yes, I think to myself,

What a wonderful world.
