♪♪♪ SING ALONG ♪♪♪ as a piano plays the chords and melody (from the SOLO Edition of the Secular Hymnal).
Singing along to a simple, chorded melody like this is an ideal way to develop your harmonizing skills!
Lyrics:
Building a door through ev'ry wall
It takes some skill, a hammer and saw
Building a door, we know the way
Let's build a door right here today
Let's build a door and when it's done
Open it up to ev'ryone
Let's build a door and when it's done
Open it up to ev'ryone
