Everybody Ought to Praise His Name Songtext
von Mighty Clouds of Joy

Oh I woke up early this morning
My heart was beating right on time
I said lord I truly thank you
For opening up these eyes of mine

Then I went over to my window
And while looking through the shades
Once again I had to tell him
Thank you Lord for letting me see another day

Now the sun was bright and shining
The wind was blowing not too strong
In a tree top just a few feet away
Was a robin singing a song

I don′t know what he was singing
And pretty soon he was on his way
Who can say he wasn't being grateful
And saying thank you for another day


Everybody ought to praise his name
Be thankful and praise his name
Everybody ought to praise his name
Yea yea
′Cause if a robin can say thank you
You can do it too

Now the sun was bright and shining
The wind was blowing not too strong
In a tree top just a few feet away
A robin was singing a song

I don't know what he was singing
And pretty soon he was on his way
Who can say he wasn't being grateful
And saying thank you for another day

Everybody ought to praise his name
Be thankful and praise his name
Everybody ought to praise his name
Yea yea
′Cause if a robin can say thank you
You can do it too


Everybody ought to praise his name
Be thankful and praise his name
Everybody ought to praise his name
Yea yea,
′Cause if a robin can say thank you
You can do it too

Oh oh you ought to praise his name
Be thankful and praise his name
Everybody ought to praise his name
Hmm hmm
'Cause if a robin can say thank you
You can do it too

Hey hey you got to praise his name
Be thankful and praise his name
Everybody ought to praise his name
Yea yea
′Cause if a robin can say thank you
You can do it too
