Monica Brown‘s collection, Our God is Good, provided four songs in the Praise to God hymn book. There was the hit song, “Celebrate” and “Speak from Your Heart“, which I have blogged already, because they were in As One Voice. This article may be ten years old, but it is a nice appreciation of her work over the years.
PTG also included the title track and the format of the sheet music is melody line with chords, which appears very much cut and paste from the originals. This is a children’s song and requires clapping.
Her older children’s songs are helpfully complied in Praise & Blessings, available to download as sheet music at Emmaus.
Chorus
Clap with your hands, our God is good!
Sing with your voice, our God is good!
With all that you have, sing it to the world,
Our God is so good!
1 He is good to us in the beauty of the earth,
In the wonder of the sea and sky.
He’s good to us in the smile of a friend,
In a helping hand or a gentle word. So…
Chorus
2 He is good to us in his gift of love,
Jesus his only son.
He’s good to us in calling us together
To celebrate His love. So…
Chorus

Of course the recorded version has no clapping! Add it yourself I suppose.
