The band in the church was rocking to the beat.
And the Spirit of the Lord was moving in my feet.
I got up from my seat, my hands in the air.
And I thanked the Father for His love and care.

The house of the Lord is where we go to meet.
But I can't praise His name while sitting in my seat.
While some may be quiet, and seated in their chair,
If your gonna go to Heaven, you've gotta get up from there.

Chorus

Yes, you 've gotta get up, and give praise to our king.
No matter how we sound, He loves to hear us sing.
We have a home in Glory, that's already been prepared.
But you've gotta get up, if you want to make it there.

So when you're in church, and the music starts to roll.
Get up from your seat, and talk to Jesus from your soul.
Tell Him you love Him and thank Him for His care.
And you'll be closer to Him, when you get up out of that chair.

Jesus loves us all, and our praise He loves to hear.
There'll come a day, when He'll wipe away our tears.
We'll carry no more burdens, till we reach our new home.
And when we sit in heaven, we'll be by God's throne.

Chorus

Yes, you've gotta get up, and give praise to our king.
No matter how we sound, He loves to hear us sing.
We have a home in Glory, that's already been prepared.
But you've gotta get up, if you want to make it there.

Yes, you've gotta get up, and give praise to our king.
No matter how we sound, He loves to hear us sing.
We have a home in Glory, that's already been prepared.
But you've gotta get up, if you want to make it there.

But you've gotta get up, if you want to make it there.
