Praise The Lord

Praise the Lord, all you people.  Praise the Lord for he is good

Surpassing all these idols made of clay and stone and wood

Praise the Lord, everybody.  Praise the Lord above Most High

The magnificent Creator of the earth and sea and sky

Praise the Lord…

 

Praise the Lord, all you people.  Praise the Holy One above

Praise him for his majesty and his unfailing love

Praise the Lord, everybody.  Praise our strong and mighty king

He delivered us from evil and he gave us songs to sing.

 

Praise him with your mouth and with your hands and with your feet

Everywhere you go, and to everyone you meet

Tell them of his goodness and tell them of his grace

There is no one like the Lord deserving of our praise

Praise the Lord…

 

Praise him in the morning and when the day is through

For all he’s done already and for all he’s yet to do

Praise him in your labor and praise him in your rest

Praise him when you’re broken and praise him when you’re blessed

 

Praise him in the darkness and praise him in the light

Praise him in the lowlands and from the highest heights

Praise him in your sorrow and praise him in your joy

Praise him every man and woman, every girl and boy

Praise the Lord…

 

Praise him in the festival and every celebration

Praise him in the hospital and praise him in the prison

Praise the One who found you in your sickness and transgression

Who bandaged up your wounds and turned your curses into blessings

 

Praise him with a whisper and praise him with a yell

Praise him with the eulogy and with the wedding bells

Praise him in your comfort and praise him in your fears

Praise him when you’re young and when you’re reeling in the years

Praise the Lord…

 

Praise him when the path is jagged.  Praise him when it’s straight.

Praise him when you’re confident and when you hesitate

Praise him when you’re worried that the battle won’t be won

Praise him and remember that he gave his only Son

 

So he won’t ever leave you and he won’t turn his face away

He’s in every tear you cry and in every prayer you pray

He’s faithful to his promises, no, he will never change

Until the day that he returns let’s fill the earth with praise

Praise the Lord…

 

Praise him with your mouth and with you hands and with your feet

Everywhere you go, and to everyone you meet

Tell them of his goodness and tell them of his grace

There is no one like the Lord deserving of our praise

Praise the Lord…
