You see I was raised in a little Pentecostal church, a little holiness church with wood
floors and wood walls and wood ceilings and tambourines and cymbals and guitars and mandolins and banjos.
And one of the most critical things that they hated that they criticized us the most for,
this is back in the olden days when the full gospel was not popular.
And one of the [B] things that they hated us for was because we had so [Am] much joy in our services
and we clapped our hands.
They [E] said it's rude, it's crude, it's just unnecessary those people clapping their hands in church.
Over at Lily Holiness Church there was a preacher by the name of Herbert Gibson and he wrote
this song that said just clap your hands, [A] clap your hands.
Hallelujah.
When [E]
[Bm] [E]
I first found this holiness way, oh my night was turned to [B] day,
[E] and my friends can't
[A] understand why I sing and I clap [E] my hands.
I clap my hands, I clap my [B]
hands.
[E] Oh everybody clap your hands.
[Bm] When [E] the enemy comes like a flood, I tell him I'm covered by the blood.
[E] With my own praise I take [A] my stand.
[A] I sing and shout and I clap my [B] hands.
[E] I clap my hands, I [B] clap my hands.
[E] Everybody clap your hands.
Satan is a defeated foe.
In the name of Jesus that devil's gotta go.
Let him know you're [A] holding God's hand.
You're not gonna worry, gonna clap your [E] hands.
Oh clap your hands, [B] clap your [A] hands.
Everybody [E] clap your hands.
Clap your hands, clap your hands.
Everybody clap your hands.
Clap your hands, clap [A] your hands.
Look that devil in the eye and clap [E] your hands.
[B] Oh clap your hands, clap [B] your hands.
[A] [B] Oh everybody [E] clap your hands.
You see when World War I was going on,
this bunch of Pentecostal people were clapping their hands
and singing praise unto God.
World War II came, we were clapping our hands and praising God.
Hallelujah.
The Korean War, Vietnam War, we're still clapping our hands and praising God.
And with the last terrorist attack on America,
Satan would like to say you're going to shut up now.
We say no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Hallelujah.
Hallelujah.
Satan is a defeated [Bm] foe.
In the name of Jesus [E] that devil's got to go.
I'm a hold into a saving [A] hand.
I can't help but shout [E] and clap my hands.
Clap your hands, clap [B] your hands.
[A]
[B] Everybody [E] clap your hands.
Oh, [A] oh.
[E]
