Christ Be Praised
Jeremy Riddle's song "Christ Be Praised" is a worship anthem that exalts Jesus Christ for His sacrificial death and resurrection. The lyrics call believers to behold the mercy of the cross and the wonder of His love, reflecting on His wounds and the blood shed for freedom. It invites all creation, including angels and heaven, to give glory and praise to the One seated on the throne, who is worthy of all honor. The repeated refrain of "Hallelujah" and "Christ be praised" emphasizes adoration for the Lamb who was slain, making it a powerful declaration of praise and thanksgiving.
Behold the mercy of the cross
Behold the wonder of His love for us
Give Him glory
Oh, come and give Him praise
See His side, His hands, His feet
See where blood ran down to set us free
Give Him glory
Oh, come and give Him praise
Praise the One who's seated on the throne
Praise the One who's worthy of it all
Praise the One who shed His precious blood
Forever praise!
All you angels 'round His throne
All of heaven, all of earth below
Give Him glory
Oh, come and give Him praise
Praise the One who's seated on the throne
Praise the One who's worthy of it all
Praise the One who shed His precious blood
Forever praise!
Praise the One who's seated on the throne
Praise the One who's worthy of it all
Praise the One who shed His precious blood
Forever praise!
Forever praise!
Forever praise Him!

We sing Hallelujah
To the Lamb that was slain!
And we sing Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
We sing!
And we sing Hallelujah!
Oh, Christ be praised!
And we sing Hallelujah
To the Lamb that was slain!
And we sing Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
