[Intro: John P. Kee]
Put 'em together, come on
Let's do it, when I think
[Chorus: New Life Community Choir]
When I think of His mercy and His kindness
All I wanna do is thank Him
From the rising of the Sun to the going down of the same
Oh, clap your hands and say, "Amen"
[Interlude: John P. Kee]
Clap 'em, Lord
When I think of His mercy and His kindness
[Chorus: New Life Community Choir, John P. Kee]
When I think of His mercy and His kindness
All I wanna do is thank Him (From the rising)
From the rising of the Sun to the going down of the same
Oh, clap your hands and say, "Amen" (Zion, let us)
[Bridge: New Life Community Choir, John P. Kee]
Zion lets us praise His holy and righteous name
Worthy Lamb is He, oh, oh
Let us all proclaim He shall come again (Come on)
And I shall be ready, oh, oh
Clap your hands and say, "Amen" (Break it down, Maurice)
[Interlude: John P. Kee]
Hey, now, this song is for everybody
You already bought your ticket, or you broke in the back door
But you're already in here now
If God has delivered you for anything, get up on your feet right now—break it down
Hey, now, in order to participate, you need a little room
Tell your neighbor, "I need a little room, little room, little room, little room, little room, lil' room"
Break it down for me again, hey
Now, when I count to three, Atlanta, I want you to do me a favor
I want you to clap like you're from Durham, North Carolina outside the county line
How many don't have a problem givin' God some praise with your hands?
Here we go, Atlanta, one, two, three
[Break: John P. Kee]
Help us, come on
Ooh
Come on, everybody, say it
Clap your hands, come on
[Vamp: New Life Community Choir, John P. Kee]
Clap your hands (Come on, say it with me)
Oh, clap your hands (Everybody say it)
Clap your hands (Oh, oh, oh, Lord)
Oh, clap your hands (Every alto in here say, "Clap your hands")
[Vamp: Altos, Sopranos, Tenors, John P. Kee]
Clap your hands (I need you, Atlanta, come on, oh, clap your hands)
Oh, clap your hands if you've been delivered (That's good, sopranos, take it up top)
Clap your hands (Oh, clap your hands)
Oh, clap your hands if you've been delivered (Tenors, I need you to sing one note, sing)
Clap your hands (There it is, come on, oh, clap your hands)
Oh, clap your hands if you've been delivered (Now, I want everybody to say it, follow me)
[Vamp: New Life Community Choir, John P. Kee]
Clap your hands (Aw, that sound good to me, good to me)
Oh, clap your hands (I wanna hear you just a little louder, please)
Clap your hands (Oh, clap your hands)
Oh, clap your hands (Now, stop singin' and jump up and clap 'em, come on)
[Instrumental Break]
[Vamp: New Life Community Choir, John P. Kee]
Say it again, everybody
Clap your hands
Clap your hands (Oh, yeah, clap your hands)
Oh, clap your hands (The Lord is worthy, yeah)
Clap your hands (Oh, no, no, no, no, yeah)
Oh, clap your hands (Alright, stop singin' and clap 'em, come on)
[Verse: New Life Community Choir, John P. Kee]
If you've been delivered (Come on, clap 'em, come on, hey)
Clap your hands (Get 'em up, get 'em up, darling)
Sure 'nough delivered
Praise His name (Let's say it again, Atlanta, clap yo' hands)
[Vamp: New Life Community Choir, John P. Kee, Altos]
Clap your hands (Say it with me)
Oh, clap your hands if you've been delivered (Say it with me)
Clap your hands (Come on, Jersey, everybody's home)
Clap your hands
[Outro: John P. Kee]
Now, the ladies still clappin'—two, three, hey
Break it down for me, uh
Atlanta, we goin' back to the old days
When folks used to praise God and they were not ashamed
We gon' do the Holy Ghost three steps
Three to your left and three to your right
Are you ready? Come on, Tim, here we go, say
Hey, I see ya, come on, Litsey, hey, hey
Come on, move
