Hook: C’mon everybody throw your hands up! (Hands up, Hands up!)
If you love the Lord Jesus, throw your hands up! (Hands up, Hands up!)
If you’re not afraid to praise Him, throw your hands up! (Hands up, Hands up!)
C’mon everybody throw your hands up! (Hands up, Hands up!)
V1 – See we came here tonight to praise the name of the LORD / But by looking at some of y’all, I would think you were bored / But see, we got a little something that’s goin’ fix all that / Where the crunk Saints at, crunk Saints where you at? / Is it y’all to my left? (Where y’all at?) / Is it y’all to my right? (Where y’all at?) / Is it y’all to my left? (Where y’all at?) / Is it y’all to my right? (Where y’all at?) / Alright, check it, I’ll tell you exactly what we’re gonna do / Let’s go ‘head and split the audience in two / Some of y’all on this side tryin’ to praise His name / And some of y’all over here are tryin’ to do the same / And see, God said he wants us all on the same accord / But we’re goin’ see which side can get crunk for the LORD / God said he wants us all on the same accord / But we’re goin’ see which side can get crunk for the LORD

V2 – Now all my Saints on the left with the Spirit / Open up your mouth loud, so the devil can hear it / Christ is the reason I lift my hands! / (Christ is the reason I lift my hands!) / Now all my Saints on the right that be keeping it tight / Ain’t afraid to praise the LORD and put that devil to flight / Christ is the reason I lift my hands! / (Christ is the reason I lift my hands!) / Left side, throw it up! Left side, throw it up! / Left side, throw it up! Left side, throw it up! / Right side, throw it up! Right side, throw it up! / Right side, throw it up! Right side, throw it up! / Everybody, throw it up! Everybody, throw it up! / Everybody, throw it up! Everybody, throw it up! / Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah / Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

V3 – It’s like this see, satan is an outlaw / On the real baby, he don’t care nothin’ bout y’all / All he wants to do is trap and destroy / And if satan’s in control, you’ll never have joy / So here’s my proposal, go out and seek Jesus / Because His blood is the key that frees us / From the darkness & depression of the world’s pit / Oh yeah, the LORD’s got room for you, but listen this is it / You’ve gotta admit with your mouth He’s the Son / And believe in your heart that Jesus is the One / So when you see me, you can say what you want / But say, “X is a Child of God” upfront / I used to claim to represent that and this / Now I represent J-E-S-U-S / You can do the same ‘cause it’s not hard / And I would be glad to help you come to know God

Outro: When the enemy comes against you, just remember / You can throw your hands up in Holy Praise and say “Lord I surrender!” / Throw Your Hands up and say “Lord, I surrender” / Throw Your Hands up and say “Lord, I surrender” x 2
