V1 – Get Up, Stand Up, Put those hands up! / And since you’re on duty, yeah it’s time for you to man up! / We ain’t got a problem gettin’ rowdy for Jehovah / Sin ain’t my master no ‘mo, them days are over! / Get Up, Stand Up, Put those hands up / Goin’ hard after Christ? Then it’s time to strike the band up! / Let’s worship the glorious name of Christ / Born twice? Die once. Born once? Die twice / (Yeah) Get Up, Stand Up, Put those hands up! / And since you’re on duty, yeah it’s time for you to man up! / So give it to the Lord and let’s attack pride / He’s the King of all Kings, get off ya backside! / Get Up, Stand Up, Put those hands up / Goin’ hard after Christ? Then it’s time to strike the band up! / We win in the end, so you can let the praise in / Even if you’re in a tailspin, get up off your tail end!

V2 – You can get up or get down… / However the Spirit moves you, just do it right now… / Hold up, hold on, I’m about to get my groove on / Call up D-Lite, go head deejay play the song / The one with the hip-hop Bob Marley in it / Getcha so funky, throw a holy ghost party with it / Up early in the church, you can praise with it / Even in your car, Alpha Project, you can bang with it / So go on and cop it, don’t worry about the dough / I don’t do it for the profit, I do it for the Prophet! / Better yet the Savior, catch on the corner preaching Jesus so major / Yeah, He’s got flavor / I’m hard in the paint, like I play for the Lakers / A sixth-man though, so call me Von Wafer / I don’t want the shine homie, Jesus is much greater / He changed my life, so I gotta say “Thank Ya”

V3 – We came to celebrate the King, so soldier stand at attention / The weight of man’s sin, yes sir, that’s what He’s benchin’ / Nails in His wrists & His feet, He wasn’t flinchin’ / Puttin’ in work on satan and all his henchmen / So that’s why we Get Up, Stand Up! So Get Up, Stand Up! / The needle ain’t broken, I’m repeating it so it’s spoken / That all the hard hearts get shattered / By the unmatched power of a cross that’s blood spattered / He’s the Ancient of Days, Worthy of Praise / Snatched me up in all my sin and started changing up my ways / And changing up the plays like when you’re at the line of scrimmage / Moses said in Genesis I’m made in His image / But it wasn’t all about correcting my behavior / It really boiled down to me respecting my Savior / Elohim, El Shaddai, Lord Supreme, Adonai / If you know where you’re goin’ go when you die (then)
