Praise You when I?m overwhelmed, Praise You in my brokenness

Praise You so I don?t forget Who You are Who You are

Praise You when I?ve lost my way, Praise You when I?m so afraid

Praise You 'cause You never change Who You are Who You are


Weeping may endure for the night

But joy comes in the morning, Joy comes in the morning

Weeping may endure for the night

But joy comes in the morning, Joy comes in the morning

 

Praise You when I?m empty-handed, Praise You when I feel abandoned

Praise You cause I?m not alone You see me You see me

Praise You when the road is long, Praise You when my faith is gone

Praise You 'cause You hear the song I?m singing I?m singing 

 

I will fear no evil, I know You are with me

Closer than I think You are, Closer than I think You are

Fighting all my battles, Lighting every shadow

Closer than I think You are, Closer than I think You are
