Lyrics for Joyful Joyful

"Joyful, Joyful"

(feat. St. Francis Choir)

   [Victoria]

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

[Beat Starts]

[Chorus: 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

[Kelis]

Check the rhyme

Joyful, joyful

Lord we adore Thee

And in my life I put none before Thee

'Cos since I was a youngster I came to know

That you were the only way to go

[Debbie]

So I had to grow and I come to an understanding

And I'm down with the King

So no-one commanded

You tell me "Who you down with" see

All I know is that I'm down with G.O.D

You down with G.O.D?

[Choir]

Yeah, you know me

[Kelis]

You down with G.O.D?

[Choir]

Yeah, you know me

[Debbie]

You down with G.O.D?

[Choir]

Yeah, you know me

[Kelis and Debbie]

You down with G.O.D?

[Choir]

Everybody

He watches over everything

So we sing!

[Repeat Chorus by Choir with Victoria’s ad-libs]

[Choir with (Girls, Boys, Victoria’s Vocals)]

Fill us (Fill us with the light of day Lord, oh fill

us) Victoria

Fill us (Oh we need you yes we do, ooh fill us) Tyler

Fill us (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Tyler

Fill us (With the light of day Lord) Zahrah

Fill us (With the light of day Lord) J amie

Fill us (With the light of day Lord) Shai

Fill us (We need you, we need you to Pray, we need

you, need you today) Victoria

Fill us (We need you I'm gonna say) April

Fill us (Fill us, fill us, fill us, fills us!) Year 9

Fill us

Fill us with the light of day (Oh yeah) Victoria

LIGHT OF DAY!

Choir songs for the Summer concert (19th July @ 5pm)

Soul Choir

Practise these 3 songs and learn the lyrics.

We are starting Ukuleles after February half-term!

I have purchased a set of ukuleles for the school. You will be able to use these ukuleles in lesson as well as after school, but if you'd like to have one to practise with at home have a look at www.amazon.co.uk as there are some quite affordable ones available.

Good makes for a beginner ukulele are Mahalo and Vintage. You can get a soprano instrument for under £22.

Your homework is 10 minutes practise a week.

Don't forget that if you don't have a UKULELE at home you MUST practise at school TEN MINUTES every week.     
(Two 5 minute practices should ensure sufficient progress)
