Rise and Shine

Here is a good old Christian spiritual for ya! Well, it is an Old Testament story. This has been a staple at camp since, well, a long time ago. This is another song where the lyrics we are accustomed to are not always the same as other versions. Just do a Google search and you will find a wide variety. Here is a very spirited rendition of the song for you to experience: CLICK HERE to watch!
