Song Meaning
Marvin Sapp's “Praise Your Way Through” is a live gospel call to praise in the middle of trouble. It starts with a spoken introduction about all that God has done, and then asks how a listener can stay so calm, keep their seat and say what they came for. The answer is to get up and praise the Lord.
The verses name the pressures plainly: bills are due, there may be a car note too, and the reminder is that the day is not about you. The instruction repeats no matter what you are going through, act like you know he has been good to you. The chorus then becomes a long chant of praise your way through, with the congregation answering. Examples from the Bible follow: the Hebrew boys in the fiery furnace and Paul and Silas locked up in jail, who all praised, and the song says praise will bring you through. A late section addresses God directly as the King of glory and Lion of Judah, mentions his death on a tree to save a wretch, and quotes the psalm to bless him at all times. The long, building arrangement and the crowd's responses make it fit for a Sunday morning, a revival or a hard week. The purpose is to turn attention from the problem to the one who is worthy of praise.
Paul and Silas singing in prison is Acts 16:25-26. The fourth man in the furnace is Daniel 3:24-25, and blessing the Lord at all times is Psalm 34:1.

How can you be so calm?
How can you keep your seat?
Tell me what did you come here for?
Get up and praise the Lord with me
I know your bills are due
May have a car note too
Remember it's not about you
Get up and praise the Lord anyway
Listen
No matter what you're going through
Act like you know he's been good to you
If you know he's been good get on your feet right now
Woah
Come on and lift your voice (rejoice and be glad)
Come on and raise your hand (and praise him in a dance say)
Don't hold back (you've got to give him all you've got)
Get up and praise the lord with me
Come on and clap your hands (and give him a thunderous praise yeah)
Shout it out loud (Jesus your name is to be praised)
It don't matter how you feel (really don't matter)
Get up and praise the Lord anyway
Listen my friends
No matter what you're going through
Act like you know he's been good to you
Lift up those hands right now and bless his precious name
Woah
And just praise your way through (praise your way through)
Praise your way through (praise your way through)
No matter what you're going through
Just praise your way through
Open up your mouth and praise your way through (praise your way through)
Because I know the Lord is worthy (praise your way through)
He's worthy to be praised (praise your way through)
Come on and praise your way through (praise your way through)
Like the Hebrew boys in the fiery furnace (they praised)
Like Paul and Silas locked up in jail (they praised)
Don't you be silent praise'll bring you through
Praise him through your situation come on
You reign in power and in might
King of glory there's no one like you
Lion of Judah we lift your name on high Jesus
[x3]
Lord you are good and your mercy endureth
You died upon a tree just to save a wretch like me said you're good
Lord you are good and your mercy endureth
You laid your life down, you laid your life down for me
Lord you are good and your mercy endureth
I bless you at all times for your name is worthy to be praised
Lord you are good and your mercy endureth
I love you and I lift you, I lift you and I love you you're good
You're good, you're good, you're good
And your mercy endureth
You're good, you're good, you're good
And your mercy endureth
