I member back when I was a little youn girl I remember mama saying sit up
you can't git there get up when it's time to give the Lord some praise.
Now evidently she knew exactly where the praise would get me,
that's why when the praise is going up get up from your seat now
Now I remember when situation's had me kind of hindered
but my spirit kept saying get up I can't sit there get up
when it's time to give the Lord some praise. When the praise is over
the weight it really lifted off my shoulder, that's why
when the praise is going up get up from your seat now.

Now it was kind of weekley that on the job the devil tried to get me
that's why u hear me keep saying sit up you can't sit there get up
I told you you slap the face.
Now when I get that praise on the job it couldn't come my way
that's why when the praise is going up get up from your seat now.

Now the doctor told me from day to day I've got to take it ea
that was just like him saying sit up you can't sit there siyt up
cause it's time to give the Lord some praise.
Now when my body was achin' a something in my hand a got to shakin'
that's why when the praise is going up get up from your seat now

Get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
when the praise is going up get up from your seat now

Now if you want to go and tell the person sittin' next to ya
don't you hear what I say get up you shouldn't sit there get up
cause it's time to give the Lord some praise.
Now if I had it my way these chairs wouldn't even be here no way cause
when the praise is going up get up from your seat now

Now if you think you lost it and you're lookin' for some joy for it
first you got to get up don't site there get up cause it's time to give the Lord some praise.
And before you know it something in your body starts to show it,
that's why when the praise is going up get up from your seat now

Get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
when the praise is going up get up from your seat now

Now everybody just keep saying you can praise without me
sooner or later you gonna wish you got up from sitting got up
cause you need the Lord to come your way And then you want to get
the elders to pray for you but I told you when the praise is going up
get up from your seat now
