[Chorus:]
I want to be where the praises are
I want to be where God is
I want to be where the spirit lives
There's no place I'd rather be
[Bridge:]
Where the spirit is there is liberty
Whom the son sets free is free indeed
He inhibits the praise of you and me
There's no place I'd rather be
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[Vamps:]
Praise him
Lift him up
He inhibits the praises
So lift him up
Praise him
