Lyrics
Ha! Y'all ready?
Come on choir, we gon' have some church tonight!
Clap your hands, stomp your feet... let's go!
[Verse 1]
Woke up this mornin', joy in my soul,
Grace and mercy, yeah, He made me whole.
Devil tried to stop me, but I still got through,
'Cause the power of the Lord is breakin' me loose!
[Pre-Chorus - Call & Response]
Lead: When I think about His goodness, choir what you say?
Choir: Thank You, Lord, for another day!
Lead: When I think about His mercy, choir how you feel?
Choir: Got that joy that the world can't steal!
[Chorus]
Lift Him up (hey!), clap your hands real loud,
Lift Him up (hey!), let's praise Him right now.
Lift Him up (woo!), stomp your feet to the sound,
'Cause there ain't no party like a praise break now!
[Verse 2]
Chains are fallin', walls come down,
Every stronghold broken when I shout out loud.
Got a brand-new fire, can't keep it contained,
Gotta give Him all the glory, lift up His name!
[Pre-Chorus - Call & Response]
Lead: When I think about His healing, choir what you say?
Choir: Thank You, Lord, for another day!
Lead: When I think about His blessing, choir how you feel?
Choir: Got that peace that the world can't steal!
[Chorus]
Lift Him up (hey!), clap your hands real loud,
Lift Him up (hey!), let's praise Him right now.
Lift Him up (woo!), stomp your feet to the sound,
'Cause there ain't no party like a praise break now!
[Bridge - Break it down, funky groove]
Choir: Clap, clap, stomp, stomp,
We ain't never gonna stop, stop!
Clap, clap, stomp, stomp,
Give Him praise with all you got!
Lead: Y'all feel that?!
(Organ and drums build up)
[Final Chorus - Big Energy]
Lift Him up (hey!), clap your hands real loud,
Lift Him up (hey!), let's praise Him right now.
Lift Him up (woo!), stomp your feet to the sound,
'Cause there ain't no party like a praise break now!
[Outro - Spoken hype]
Yeahhh! That's it right there!
Devil can't have my joy, can't have my peace...
This is a Holy Ghost party, and it don't stop!
