I can praise the Lord
I can praise the Lord
I can clap my hands and sing to Him
Praise the Lord
And make a joyful noise
I can praise the Lord
I can praise the Lord
I’m the crown of His creation
And I’m free to make this choice
I can praise the Lord
I can praise the Lord
Yes I tell Him that I love Him
When I praise the Lord
The ole grey dog goes woof
The tomcat says meow
Moo says the milk cow
And the Billy goat says baah
The horse rears up on his hind legs
And gives a mighty yell
But there’s something great
That I can do they cannot do as well
The rooster wakes up on the fence
With a cock a doodle doodle do
The big fat hen goes
Cluck cluck cluck cluck
Pecking her food
Cheep cheep go the chick-chicks
As they chip right through their shell
But there’s something great that I can do
They cannot do as well
