Verse 1:
People of God, the kingdom is nigh
And there is a cause to stand up and fight.
He's given the charge, there's no way we'd lose.
If you didn't know it, we've got some good news.
Pre-chorus:
Is He gonna do it' (Yes!)
Who's He gonna use' (Me!)
Am I gonna win' (Yes!)
And how's he gonna do it'
(He'll use my hands, oh...)
Is He gonna do it' (Yes!)
Who's He gonna use' (Me!)
Am I gonna win' (Yes!)
And how's he gonna do it'
(He'll use my hands!)
Chorus:
Teach my hands to war,
'Cause praise is a weapon, praise is a weapon.
I'll clap (I'll clap), I'll wave (I'll wave),
In everything (In everything I'll praise).
Teach my hands to war,
'Cause praise is my weapon, praise is my weapon.
He promised victory when we praise
So clap your hands, clap you hands, clap 'em.
Clap your hands, clap your hands, clap 'em.
Verse 2:
It's been determined
We overcome by the blood of the one.
He's the Lamb that was slain,
And He never fought back
'Cause He knew that in three days (three days)
It was gonna turn around in our favor
So we're giving praise to our Savior
He gave His life for me,
The victory is in our praise.
[Pre-chorus -> Chorus]
Bridge:
The weapons of our warfare are mighty,
Mighty through God.
We don't fight against flesh and blood
But principalities and powers,
Fighting through God.
We're not ignorant of his devices
Spiritual wickedness in high places
Come down, come down,
Come down with our praise.
The weapons of our warfare are mighty,
Mighty through God.
We don't fight against flesh and blood
But principalities and powers,
Fighting through God.
We're not ignorant of his devices
Spiritual wickedness in high places
Come down, come down, come down.
Ending:
Teach my hands to war,
'Cause praise is a weapon, praise is a weapon.
(Just clap, just clap, just clap, just clap...)
Teach my hands to war,
'Cause praise is my weapon, praise is my weapon.
(Just wave, just wave, just wave...)
Teach my hands to war,
'Cause praise is a weapon, praise is a weapon.
I'll clap (I'll clap), I'll wave (I'll wave),
In everything (In everything I'll praise).
Teach my hands to war,
'Cause praise is my weapon, praise is my weapon.
He promised victory when we praise
So clap your hands, clap you hands, clap 'em.
Clap your hands, clap your hands, clap 'em.
Clap your hands, clap your hands, clap 'em.
Clap your hands, clap your hands, clap 'em.
Teach my hands to war!
