Seven ways to praise the Lord

D                    Em
Sometimes when I'm feeling down
A               D
And the devil comes around
D                  Em
I start to make a joyful sound
     G      A  G  D 
That he cannot ignore

D             Em
It's a heavenly idea
A              D 
Guaranteed to make him flee yah
D            Em
Perfect panacea
       A                  D

Pitiful sight, but at least
They're all in one accord

Much like any cemetery
Someone ought to tell them
Seven ways to praise the Lord

What the scriptures emphasizes
Seven holy exercises
That magnify the Lord

So practice each one faithfully
And very soon you're sure to see
That you have found a hundred
Brand new ways to praise the Lord
