PRAISE HIM IN ADVANCE

Marvin Sapp

I've had my share of ups and downs
Times when there was no one around
God came and spoke these words to me
Praise will confuse the enemy

I've had my share of ups and downs
Times when there was no one around
God came and spoke these words to me
Praise will confuse the enemy

I started singing, I started clapping
I started dancing, people were laughing
They knew my problems, they knew my pain
But I knew God would take them away

I've my share of ups and downs
Times when there was no one around
God came and spoke these words to me
Praise will confuse the enemy

(So I started singing) I started singing, I started clapping
I started dancing, people were laughing
They knew my problems, they knew my pain
But I knew God would take them away

That's why I praise Him with my hands
That's why I praise Him with a dance
He's given me a second chance
Come on lets praise Him in advance

That's why I praise Him with a song
When things are right and when they're wrong
He's given me a second chance
Come on lets praise Him in advance
