[Verse 1:]
There's a promise in God's Word
Concerning those who worship
The sanctified of God
The holy royal priesthood
If we should praise His name
He fights the battle for us
He'll do it if we give Him all the praise
[Verse 2:]
If we focus upon Him, and not on our situation.
Lift our holy hands, and remember we're a nation!
[Pre-Chorus A]
Of kings and priest who rule
As Judah goes before us,
We defeat the enemy through our true praise.
[Hook 1: Praise Team]
Send it up (O Ye royal priesthood)
Send it up (Oh you holy nation)
Oh oh send it up (Take your places Zion)
Send it up, send Judah first
[Verse 3:]
If we send Judah first, in spite of situations
If we send Judah first, and make this declaration.
[Pre-Chorus B]
Yes I will bless the Lord
Praise His name forever
God's kingdom is established through our praise
[Hook 1]
[Bridge: Choir Unison]
Don't you know when you praise the Lord
The captives are set free
So Zion lift up your voice proclaiming
That you've got the victory
[Hook 2:]
Give it up, (Give Him all the glory)
Give it up, (Lift Him up and tell your story)
Oh oh give it up (Giving honor to Him)
Give it up, send Judah first!
[Vamp 1:]
Lift Him up (repeat)
Send Judah first!
[Vamp 2:]
Send it up (repeat adlib)
Send Judah first
[Hook 3:]
Send it up (O ye royal priesthood)
Send it up (Oh you holy nation)
Oh oh send it up (Take your places Zion)
Oh people of the Lord send Judah first!!
