This song teaches children why they should clap for God and praise Him - He is a friend, He is faithful, our strength, our guide, and holy.

Lyrics:
[Chorus]
Stand up, stand up and shout out!
It’s time we start to applaud.
Stand up, stand up and shout out!
We are the children of God.

We have a friend who will love us.
Faithful and true He will be.
He’ll be our strength and He’ll guide us
through all eternity.

[Chorus]

Let us begin now to praise Him
for all the things He has done.
With every breath we’ll adore Him.
He is the holy one.

[Chorus]
