Song Meaning
Juanita Bynum quotes 1 Chronicles 16:8 directly and repeatedly: "oh give thanks unto the Lord... make known among the nations what He has done." David's own psalm of thanksgiving, written for the ark's arrival in Jerusalem, supplies the song's entire opening structure.
The bridge quotes Isaiah 9:6 directly — "Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God You are, Prince of Peace" — the same list of titles used throughout this backlog, here compressed into a brief pause before the song returns to its extended call to "clap your hands... let the praises ring." The sheer repetition of that final instruction treats celebration itself as the appropriate, sustained response to the titles just named.

[Part One:]
Oh give thanks unto the Lord
Oh break forth with a praise in one accord
Make known among the nations what he has done
Sing praises unto his name [x2]
[Part Two:]
Oh give thanks unto the Lord
Oh break forth with a praise in one accord
Forget not all his benefits and all that he has done
Sing praises to his name [x2]

Clap your hands, and do your dance, and shout and sing
Let the praises ring [x8]

Do your dance! [x2]
Let the praises ring! [x15]
Clap your hands, do your dance, and shout and sing
Let the praises ring!
Clap your hands, Clap your hands
Let the praises ring!
