Verse 1:

You put your right hand in, they put their right hand out
You meet in the middle and you shake ‘em all about
You say, “The peace be with you” and they say it too!
That’s how you share the peace!  (refrain)

Verse 2:

Now if you’d rather hug or pat ‘em on the back
You can even smile and wave if you've had a cough attack
I really doesn’t matter as long as you can say,
“The peace be with you,” okay?
“OKAY!”  (refrain)

Refrain:

You say, “The peace be with you”
(All hands are up and shaking as in the real “Hokey Pokey.”)
(Congregation responds, “Praise the Lord!”)

God’s peace be with you,
(Congregation responds, “Amen!)

Christ’s peace be with you,
(Congregation responds, “Thank you Jesus!”)
That’s how you share the peace!
