Praise The Lord
Hope Darst's song is a vibrant call to praise, emphasizing that God's presence transforms situations when believers worship. The lyrics encourage all creation to join in thanksgiving, picturing angels around the throne and declaring that praise can bring breakthrough, like walls falling and mountains moving. The repeated refrain, 'Praise the Lord, O my soul,' echoes Psalm 103 and underscores a lifelong commitment to worship. The song's energetic tone and focus on God's worthiness make it a fitting anthem for congregational worship, inspiring listeners to lift their voices and expect God to move.
When God inhabits our praises
Heaven opens, everything changes
So, get ready now
Oh, get ready now
So let everything that is breathing
Enter in, with praise and thanksgiving
So, get ready now oh, get ready now
Join with the angels around the throne
Singing the song that never gets old
As long as I've got breath in these lungs
Oh, I will
Praise Lord, oh my soul
Praise Lord, oh my soul
Shout for joy, King Jesus is present
And He loves the sound of His children
When we're singing out
Oh, keep singing out
Praise Lord, oh my soul
Praise Lord, oh my soul
As long as I've got breath in these lungs
I'll sing and I'll never stop
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Oh, praise the Lord, oh my soul
You are worthy God
Watch what God can do
When praises fill the room
Watch what God can change
When we lift up His name
Watch what God can do
When praises fill the room
Watch what God can change
When we lift up His name
Watch the walls fall down
Watch it turn around
Watch the mountains move
There's nothing He can't do
Praise Lord, oh my soul
Praise Lord, oh my soul
As long as I've got breath in these lungs
I'll sing and I'll never stop
As long as I've got breath in these lungs
I'll sing and I'll never stop
As long as I've got breath in these lungs
I'll sing and I'll never stop
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
