Verse 1

You spoke the words let there be light and it was oh

And in that same breath the stars fell in line

With one voice creation cries

You do all things well 


Chorus

Be praised

Be praised

Be praised

Forever and always 


Verse 2

Lost in the dark up under the dirt

I was buried left to die

I heard your voice calling my name

From the tomb I came alive

You do all things well

From the tomb I came alive

You do all things well 


Chorus

Be praised

Be praised

Be praised

Forever and always 


Bridge

When I think of all He?s done and all the battles you?ve brought me over

Hallelujah

For all the storms I saw him calm in my defense, my only song is

Hallelujah

And how He never let me fall, now unto Him who is able

Hallelujah

And let there never be a day that I don?t rise to bring you praise

Hallelujah
