It's a funny thing getting a song from the Lord
You feel His power and the revelation flow
Then there are people who tell you it's not cool
To mention Jesus or lift up His name
[Chorus]
Newsboys will sing aloud
Sing unto the King of kings
Newsboys will dance, dance, dance
Before the Lord
Don't matter what the magazines have said before
What they say carries no weight in heaven
There's only one God we aim to please
And that's our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ
[Chorus]
And so these people talk like there's nothing in His name
The unsaved will only turn away (that's what they say)
I know they can't be talking 'bout my Jesus
Because there's power, power in His name
[Chorus]
And so these people talk like there's nothing in His name
The unsaved will only turn away (that's what they say)
I know they can't be talking 'bout my Jesus
Because there's power, power in His name

Newsboys' song "Praises" is an energetic declaration of worship and defiance against cultural pressure to stay silent about faith. The lyrics describe the joy of receiving a song from the Lord and the boldness to sing and dance before Him, regardless of what magazines or critics say. The band emphasizes that their only aim is to please Jesus Christ, and they affirm the power in His name despite skeptics who dismiss it. The song encourages believers to lift up Jesus openly and celebrate His majesty with enthusiasm.
