Cedarmont Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's gonna be a floody, floody
The Lord told Noah
There's gonna be a floody, floody
Get those children out of the muddy, muddy, children of the Lord
The Lord told Noah to build him an arky, arky
The Lord told Noah to build him an arky, arky
The animals, they came, they came in by twosies twosies
The animals, they came, they came in by twosies, twosies
Elephants and kangaroosie, roosies, children of the Lord
It rained and poured for forty daysies, daysies
It rained and poured for forty daysies, daysies
Almost drove those animals crazy, crazy, children of the Lord
The sun came out, and dried up the landy, landy
The sun came out, and dried up the landy, landy
Look! There's the sun, it dried up the landy, landy
Everything was fine and dandy, dandy, children of the Lord
So, rise and shine, and give God the glory, glory
Rise and shine, and give God the glory, glory
Rise and shine, and give God the glory, glory
Children of the Lord
The lyrics of Cedarmont Kids's song Rise And Shine are referencing the story of Noah's Ark from the Bible. The song begins by stating that God has warned Noah about an impending flood, and instructs him to gather his family and the children of the Lord. The next verse talks about how God tells Noah to build the ark and the material he should use to construct it. The third verse describes how the animals, big and small, came to the ark in pairs. The fourth verse talks about how it rained for 40 days and 40 nights, causing the animals to go crazy. Finally, the sun comes out, the land is dried up, and everything is fine and dandy. The refrain "rise and shine and give God the glory" is repeated three times to encourage listeners to give glory to God in all things.
This song is a classic Christian children's song that has been sung for generations. It is often used in Sunday School or Vacation Bible School as a way to teach children about the story of Noah's Ark. The song is catchy, with simple lyrics that are easy for children to remember and sing along to. The song's message is one of hope and encouragement, reminding listeners that even in the darkest of times, God is in control and will see us through.
