Story Behind The Song
When it rains it pours. I was up to my ears in debt one day, with shutoff notices, and had no idea where the money was going to come from. I prayed about it, went to church on sunday and despite all the threatening phone calls, I let the worries go and praised God as if nothing was ever wrong. Well on Monday morning, I called some of the collectors back and everyone I called was so nice to me and they all worked with me for the amount I could afford to pay. Nothing was ever shut off to this day and I am at peace. I learned then it pays to praise God no matter what the condition. When praises go up blessings come down.

Verse 2
I don't need no tambourines and I don't need no jukebox machine
All I need to do is think about what He is to me and I can praise him while I'm in my seat

(You can) you can praise Him wherever you are yea
(You can) you can praise Him when your bills are due, and when your troubles come you can praise Him too.
