Praises Go Up
(written by Elder Jimmy Hicks)
(recorded by Jimmy Hicks and Voices of Integrity)


Chorus:
Praises go up,
blessings come down.

Praises go up,
blessings come down.

When your praises go up,
blessings come down.

Praises go up,
blessings come down.

Verse 1:
Some people like to clap their hands,
some people like to do their dance.
Some people like to wave them high,
while others stand still and cry.

Some people like to shout for joy,
some people make a whole lot of noise;
whatever it takes for you,
praises is what I do

Chorus

Verse 2:
Some people like to shake and jerk,
some people run around the church.
Some people move out the crowd,
while dancing in the middle of the aisle.

Some people might run in place,
some people fall to their face;
whatever it takes for you,
praises is what I do.

Chorus

Bridge:
(When your praises go up),
(the blessings will come down).

(When your praises go up),
(you'll be free, no longer bound).

(When your praises go up),
(your blessing will come down...)

Tenors: they come down...
Altos: they come down...
Sopranos: they come down.

Vamp:
Down, down, down,
come down.
