This Is The Day
(written by Eric Thomas)
(recorded by Walt Whitman & The Soul Children of Chicago)


Chorus:
This is the day that the Lord hath made.
This is the day to be joyful, joyful, oh yes.
This is the day to give thanks to our God;
stand on your feet,
clap your hands,
and be glad in it.

Verse:
If the tress can praise the Lord,
if the birds can praise the Lord,
if the stars can praise the Lord,
if the rocks can praise the Lord, so can you.
