Karen Clark Sheard
Praise Festival
[Verse 1]
I wanna know what you doin'
Where you goin', what are your plans
Here's a proposition
Won't you listen and take my hand?
Let's go to a place where
We all share the same mind
There's no politician
Much religion and happy times
[Chorus]
Everybody ought to praise Him
Just let your feelings flow
Tell everyone you know
There is a praise party goin' on
Join in, go and grab a friend
It's better now than then
It's a praise festival
[Verse 2]
Let everything that is breathing
Partake in the celebration
Don't miss your blessing, forsaking dedication
(Yo, Karen, tell 'em how we gig)
Praise with your hands or even a dance
There's no competition or division
Much elation
[Chorus]
Everybody ought to praise Him
Just let your feelings flow
(Let your feelings show!)
Tell everyone you know
There is a praise party goin' on
Join in, go and grab a friend
It's better now than then
It's a praise festival
[Chorus]
Everybody ought to praise Him
Just let your feelings go
Tell everyone you know
There is a praise party goin' on
Join in, go and grab a friend
It's better now than then
It's a praise festival
[Rap: J. Moss]
Yo, tryna help you feel me
Tryna hear the talk about you tryna drill me
All that controversial tip, go rehearse what gon' say to me
I got responses from A to Z
Matter of fact, go get your Bible and don't play with me
Be wise in this day and time
Crime flyin' through the minds of the youth
Now you can see it in their eyes
(Know what I mean?)
It's about time we found new ways
New phats, new flaves
You have to make your stance clear
In this praise festival
Everybody ought to praise Him
Just let your feelings flow
Tell everyone you know
There is a praise party goin' on
Join in, go and grab a friend
It's better now than then
It's a praise festival
[Chorus]
Everybody ought to praise Him
Just let your feelings go
Tell everyone you know
There is a praise party goin' on
Join in, go and grab a friend
It's better now than then
It's a praise festival
[Chorus]
Everybody ought to praise Him
Just let your feelings flow
Tell everyone you know
There is a praise party goin' on
Join in, go and grab a friend
It's better now than then
It's a praise festival
[Ad Libs]
Praise him, let your feelings show
You got to go and tell somebody
Join in, go and grab somebody
Oh, who's got their head hung down
And tell them that Jesus is the only way
Let it go
Tell everybody
Oh tell somebody
When I think of the goodness of Jesus
All he's done for me
My my my soul cries out "hallelujah"
Thank you for saving me
Oh, I'm happy with Jesus alone
I'm happy with Jesus alone
