There is no Excuse

We will praise, we will praise the Lord

We will praise, we will praise the Lord

Praise!

Chorus 1:

There is no excuse (uh uh, uh uh), (no) there is no excuse

(no, no) There is no excuse, (no, no, no, no, no) there is no excuse for not (no) praising the Lord

(no, no, no, no, no, no, no) There is no excuse, (no) there is no excuse

(no, no) There is no excuse (just ain't no excuse for not), there is no excuse for not (praising the Lord) praising the Lord (no, no)

Don't let your aggravations

And all the troubles that bring you down

Provide justification

To be pessimistic like you sound

I know it's easy

To let people cause you pain

But the Lord He died so that you could live

And everlasting life to gain (I've got to tell you that)

Chorus 2:

There is no excuse, (oh no) there is no excuse (hear me when I say there's not a one no)

There is no excuse, (no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no) there is no excuse for not praising the Lord

There is no excuse, (there is no excuse no) there is no excuse (there is no excuse)

There is no excuse (no, no, no, no, no, no, no), there is no excuse for Not (not) praising the Lord (well, well)

Some people say if God were really here

There wouldn't be so much despair

Is He a figment of our imagination?

Is He somewhere in the air?

Don't let the prophets of sorrow and doom

Steal your joy away

You oughta raise your hands

You oughta stomp your feet

Because in Jesus it's a brand new day (let me tell you)

Chorus 3:

There is no excuse, (no) there is no excuse (there's no excuse)

There is no excuse, (yay) there is no excuse for not (no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no) praising the Lord (no, no, no, no, no, no, no)

There is no excuse, (no) there is no excuse (no)

There is no excuse (just ain't no excuse for not), there is no excuse for not (praising) praising the Lord (the Lord)

Rap:

(yep, yep) Attitude, He's given us the latitude to choose

Our 'tude and we choose gratitude

P to the A to the R-T-Y it's a party

Acappella style

You could be up, and you could be down

But the frown will turn around

With the joyful sound that we're bringing

Singing with no apology

True peace and joy are available (yep, yep) in G-O-D

Let me tell you there's no reason not to praise His name

We're lifting him up and it's a praise thang!

We were made in God's image

We can choose our attitude

We're made in God's image

And we choose to feel good

We were made in God's image (Oh)

We can choose (you see uh) our attitude (choose our attitude)

We're made in God's image (Oh yeah)

And we choose to feel good (hey we choose to feel so good)

We were made in God's image (hey we feel so good)

We can choose our attitude (yeah oh)

We're made in God's image (oh yeah)

And we choose to feel good (oh yeah)

We were made in God's image (oh yeah)

We can choose our attitude (because we're made in His, in His image yeah, yeah)

We're made in God's image

And we choose to feel good (yeah we feel so good)

We were made in God's image (yeah we feel so good)

We can choose our attitude (hey, oh yeah)

We're made in God's image (hey)

And we choose to feel good

Scriptural Reference:

"When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: 'Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!' 'Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!' Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, 'Teacher, rebuke your disciples!' 'I tell you,' he replied, 'if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.'" Luke 19:37-40
