Subject: Add: Joy For The Glorious Morning! (Genie)
Here's the video.   The church's sound tech didn't have my piano accompanist, Suzan's, voice mic or my guitar mic turned up high enough for her voice or my guitar to be heard much in the video, so I overdubbed the guitar and some harmony of my own.


Joy For The Glorious Morning! - Genie at MSPPC Easter Sunday, 2012.



And here are the slightly revised lyrics and chords:

JOY FOR THE GLORIOUS MORNING!
(words & music by R. Jeanene Pratt, © 2009, 2012)

                              
J[G]oy, jo[C]y! What a gl[D7]orious m[G]orning!
O[C]h, what a be[D]autiful da[G]y!
The co[Em]ld, dark to[Am]mb couldn't b[B7]ury the Li[C]ght
And the st[Em]one's been ro[B7] lled aw[Em]ay!   [C][D7][G]

Si[G]ng, Si[C]ng, for the ne[D7] w day's da[G]wning,
He[Am]aven and e[A]arth reb[B7]orn!
Ha[Em]te couldn't co[Am]nquer the po[B7]wer of Lo[C]ve
On this pe[Em]aceful E[B7]aster mo[Em]rn,
On this ble[C]ssed E[B7]aster m[Em]orn.
                                 
[Am]Just three days ago / th[G]ey put Love on trial
[Am] 'Cause they could not understa[Em]nd.
I[Am] gnorance and fear se[G]emed to rule the minds
And d[Am]arken the he[F] arts of m[E]an.                                    

[Am]Just three days ago / da[G]rkness seemed to reign,
W[F]e'd been blinded by the Li[E]ght.
[F] But fear and cha[Fm]ins / co[C]uld not conta[Am]in
The p[Dm]ower of Lo[F]ve Divi[E]ne.    [E7]

So si[G]ng o[C]ut, let your vo[D7]ice ring o[G]ut!
Lo[C]ve vict[D7]orious re[G]igns!
Let the e[Em]arth abo[Am]und with jo[B7]yful so[C]und,                           
For H[Em]ope is bo[B7]rn aga[Em]in.   [C][D7][G]

Pra[G]ise, pra[C]ise for the gl[D7]orious m[G]orn'! Let
M[C]usic f[D7]ill the e[G]arth!
Si[Am]ng, for a n[Em] ew d[B7]ay has d[C]awned
With the pr[Em]omise o[B7]f rebi[Em] rth.   [C][D7][G]
                                 
So, j[G]oy, j[C]oy for the gl[D7]orious m[G]orning!
O[C]h, what a j[D7]ubilant d[G]ay
When Lo[Am]ve sprang f[F]orth — witho[B7]ut a sou[Em]nd —
And r[G]olled that st[B7]one aw[Em]ay!
And ro[C]lled that sto[D7]ne aw[G]ay!
