Seven ways to praise the Lord

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

It's a heavenly idea
Guaranteed to make him flee yah
Perfect panacea
Seven ways to praise the Lord

  TODAH - sacrifice of praise
  YADAH - let your hands be raised
  ZAMAR - play for Him a song
  TEHILLAH - you can sing along
  SHABACH - shout for joy
  That's seven ways to praise the Lord

Congregation gone to sleep
Sermon must have been too deep
Pitiful sight, but at least
They're all in one accord

Sunday services are very
Much like any cemetery
Someone ought to tell them
Seven ways to praise the Lord

Calypso Chorus itemizes
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
