Way back in the Bible, the Hebrew language says 

That we were taught that we could praise the Lord in seven ways 

Seven great expressions, seven different flows 

Seven ways to worship God and this is how it goes 



Number one is towdah (towdah), it's the sacrifice 

Praising God inspite the fact that your world is in a vice 

It's praise that pushes through the wall of all adversity 

An offering that flows to heaven in our time of need 



Somebody say mind (mind) 

Praise the Lord (e) 

Say body (body) 

Praise the Lord (e) 

Say body (body) 

Praise the Lord (e) 

Spirit (spirit) 

Praise the Lord (e) 



Number two's yadah (yadah), that means to lift your hands (lift your hands) 

In response to what the Lord has done through the land 

An outward sign of what's inside for all the world to see 

A demonstration of our love so come praise the Lord with me 



Can you wave one hand and say praise the Lord (praise the Lord) 

Can you wave both hands and say praise the Lord (praise the Lord) 

Now can you clap those hands and say praise the Lord (praise the Lord) 



Number three is barouch (barouch), that simply means to bow 

In the awesome presence of the Lord and all His power 

To just be overwhelmed 'cause you hardly can believe 

That you've been given favor by His Holy Majesty 



Praise the Lord 

Praise the Lord 

Praise the Lord 

Praise the Lord 



This fourth one is shabach (shabach), it is what we call the shout 

It's praise that's given way before the answer comes about 

A public testimony that drowns out all the noise 

Of whiners and complainers as the saints all lift their voice 



If you believe that God's alive today, shout yeah (yeah) 

If you believe that He's worthy of our praise, shout yeah (yeah) 

If you believe the answer's on the way, shout yeah (yeah) 



Number five is zamar (zamar), this one you'll like fore sure 

It's playing any instrument that glorifies the Lord 

Instruments that blast, instruments that strum 

Instruments that keep the beat, so I'll praise Him on my drum 



Six we call halell (halell), that means to rave and boast 

And praise the Lord in such a way that gets you on your toes 

(Wait a minute, wait a minute) What (Hey now, what did you say) 

It's beyond just clappin' hands 

But best of all, this is the one that makes you wanna dance 



Finally tehillah (tehillah), seven is the best 

It's the one that is the combination of the rest 

It's singing and it's shouting, it's dancing and it's more 

It's wild, it's fun so everyone rejoice before the Lord 



Praise the Lord (e) 

Praise the Lord (e) 

Praise the Lord (e) 

Seven ways we can say 

Everyone praise the Lord
