Praise Him

Smokie Norful turns a Sunday-morning worship service into a testimony with this buoyant praise anthem, built around the repeated confession that remembering God's goodness compels thanksgiving. The lyric opens with the image of a congregation already caught up in worship, then moves through personal testimony: Christ leaving heaven, granting victory, and steadying the singer each time he stumbles. The memorable line about ten thousand tongues frames praise as something that can never be exhausted, and the call-and-response sections name God as a constant help, a constant friend, and the one who guides every footstep. The song's second half shifts from reflection to invitation, urging listeners to stand, clap, dance, and tell their own story, and the vamp echoes Psalm 34 with the declaration that the Lord is blessed at all times and His praise continually on the singer's lips. The closing exchanges about Jesus being "alright" keep the mood conversational and congregational rather than polished or performative. It is a song about gratitude that refuses to stay private, insisting that praise is the visible evidence of what God has done.
