OKEY DOKEY, hokey cokey
I will praise You karaoke
You Lord
I’ll praise You Lord
Will you still sing God’s, God’s song?
When no one else seems to want to sing along
Will you still sing God’s, God’s song?
When ev’rything only seems to go so wrong
Put your hands to the floor and your hands to the sky
Put your hands to the left and your hands to the right
Take one step left, now jump!
Take one step right, now jump!
Put your hands to the floor, and your hands to the sky
Put your hands to the left and your hands to the right
Take two steps left, jump, jump!
Now two steps right, jump, jump!
Put your hands on your hips. Wooooh
Put your hands on your hips. Wooooh
Put your hands on your hips. Wooooh
Now jump, jump, jump, jump
Put your hands on your hips. Wooooh
Put your hands on your hips. Wooooh
Put your hands on your hips. Wooooh
RAP:
Let’s jump, let’s sing
Our praise to God let’s bring
It’s time to praise so join our craze
And let the Lord’s praise ring
Let’s dance, no doubt
Let’s praise this party right out
We feel the grace of God in this place
So praise the Lord with a shout
Come on!
