Lyrics
Chorus
We praise Yahweh, yes we do! (yes we do!)
We praise Yahweh, me and you! (me and you!)
Clap your hands (clap clap), stomp your feet (stomp stomp),
Praise Him with the music's beat!
Verse 1
In the morning when I wake, (stretch up)
I will praise Him — (children: "I will praise Him!")
For the breakfast that I eat, (rub tummy)
I will thank Him — (children: "I will thank Him!")
(Chorus)
Verse 2
When I'm playing in the sun, (march in place)
I will praise Him — (children: "I will praise Him!")
When the busy day is done, (yawn and stretch)
I will thank Him — (children: "I will thank Him!")
(Chorus)
Teaching Note
Praise is not only for church or assembly — it belongs to mornings, meals, play, and bedtime. This song teaches children that praise is a daily habit, woven through an ordinary day.
