Subject: Lyr Req: God Put a Rainbow in the Clouds From: wysiwyg Date: 10 Sep 03 - 11:22 AM This is mentioned in another thread as a "well-known gospel song." I have heard it (at Record Lady) but don't find lyrics here or in my huge collection. Anyone have them? If not I will transcribe. ~Susan |
Subject: Lyr Add: GOD PUT A RAINBOW IN THE CLOUD From: masato sakurai Date: 10 Sep 03 - 01:36 PM Hi, Susan. Here it is. GOD PUT A RAINBOW IN THE CLOUD By Reverend Andrew Jenkins and Irene Spain When God shut Noah in the grand old ark He put a rainbow in the cloud When thunders rolled and the sky was dark God put a rainbow in the cloud. God put a rainbow in the cloud God put a rainbow in the cloud When it looked like the sun wouldn't shine anymore God put a rainbow in the cloud. Away down yonder in Egypt's sand God put a rainbow in the cloud Just to lead His children to the promised land God put a rainbow in the cloud. When they put old Daniel in the lion's den, God put a rainbow in the cloud Just to prove His promise to the sons of men God put a rainbow in the cloud. As a sign by day and a sign by night God put a rainbow in the cloud Just to guide His people and keep them right God put a rainbow in the cloud. Oh, Jordan deep and Jordan wide God put a rainbow in the cloud To lead his people to the other side God put a rainbow in the cloud. SOURCE: Dorothy Horstman, Sing Your Heart Out, Country Boy, 3rd ed. (p. 44) ~Masato |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: God Put a Rainbow in the Clouds From: Joe Offer Date: 11 Sep 03 - 04:24 AM The background story in Sing Your Heart Out, Country Boy is interesting:
The song made a good hit with singers. Mahalia Jackson's recording made a good seller, but it had been recorded as 'not belonging to anyone.' SESAC got in touch with me, and as I had the original pencil copy, the song was verified. When I hear it on radio, it makes me so happy, for that is why Daddy made so many grand songs. He never received any remuneration for any of his work—at least not enough to be counted. He always said he could make more, and he wanted the people to sing them and love them. That was pay enough for him." —Irene Spain Futrelle the song's copyright is dated 1931, renewed 1959, assigned to Mosie Lister Publishing Company |
