Can You Say Jesus? Cedric McClester
(1st Verse)
Up on your feet
Girls and boys
It’s time to party
Make some noise
It’s time to worship
And to praise
Whose name is it
We came to raise

Are you on board

Say say it twice

Now I don’t mean
To interrupt
But if you’re with me
Get on up
Move your body
And lose your poise
Come on people
Make some noise

Brothers and sisters
Let me announce
We’re at the bridge
So come on bounce
If you don’t keep up
You will get lost
Come on and follow me across

To take a chance
So get on up
And do your dance

What some will say
I’m here to tell you
That it’s okay
