I Will Sing Praises
Richard Smallwood's 'I Will Sing Praises' is a worship song that declares God as light, joy, and salvation. Drawing from Psalm 27, the lyrics express trust in God's protection during trouble, with the assurance that He will hide the believer in His tabernacle and set them upon a rock. The song builds into a declaration of praise, with voices layered in harmony to sing praises unto God. It is a song of faith and thanksgiving, emphasizing God's faithfulness and the security found in His presence.
Lord, You are my light;
Lord, You are my joy.
You're my salvation
whom shall I fear?
I don't have to worry; I won't be afraid,
for in the time of trouble, You shall hide me,
hide me, You shall hide me, hide me.
He shall hide me in His tabernacle
He shall set me upon a rock of stone
He shall hide me in His tabernacle
He shall set me upon a rock of stone
