If you're talking about that "When He rolls up His sleeves He ain't just puttin on the Ritz" part, LOL. We've never done either of the verses either.
We do an instrumental build on the choruses. First the piano plays a chorus solo, slow and delicate, then I come in with the guitar the second time, then the bass and drums come in the third time, then the forth time the vocals come in. You can just feel the tension building and when the vocals finally come in, it's very powerful. We'll sing through the chorus a few times and then do it one more time acapello, then finish out back to the piano only again. I think this is similar to the way Michael W. Smith did it a few years back on either the "Worship" or the "Worship Again" live albums.
It's a congregational favorite.
