(Yo Tim, Yo Bob
We had to do it man.
Yeah, We gotta praise God,
While we got the chance)
[Chorus]
I'm gonna praise God while I got the chance
Watch me while I do my dance, when I think of You
Gotta clap my hands, clap my hands
I'm gonna praise God while I got the chance
Watch me while I do my dance, this one's for You
Gotta clap my hands, clap my hands
[Verse I]
Excuse me while I praise Him,
I might look crazy to you
But this is the way that I express myself
He's the one that saved me,
From this cruel world that's crazy
And now, my mind is somewhere else in Him
[Chorus]
[Verse II]
I'm a leader by example, got love for all my people
And we gotta give it up to Him
See, this whip that I am drivin', these clothes that I am rockin',
And the ice, it all belongs to Him, not me
[Bridge]
You've done so much, much for me
I'm gone clap and move my feet
Let them talk about me,
It's all good You set me free
I'm so blessed, just to breathe
Walk around, and just believe
Just look what faith can do for you
[Chorus - repeat 2x]
[Female vocal]
Watch me while I do my dance, I'm gonna praise Him while I can
I can't sit down on this jam
Gotta clap my hands, clap my hands
Thank You for the air I breathe,
Simple things You set me free
Through faith I feel You movin' me
Gotta clap my hands, clap my hands
[Bridge]
Done so much, much for me
I'm gone clap and move my feet
Let them talk about me, it's all good You set me free
I'm so blessed, just to breathe
Walk around, and just believe
Just look what faith can do for you
[Chorus - repeat until end]
