Praise is what I do

When I want to be close to You

I lift my hands in praise

Praise is who I am

I will praise Him while I can

I'll bless Him at all times


Chorus:

I vow to praise You

Through the good and the bad

I'll praise You

Whether happy or sad

I'll praise You


(This is my testimony)

In all that I go through

(Somebody said why)

Because praise is what I do

Cause I owe it all to You


(Come on church)

Praise is what I do

(Come on church)

When I want to be close to You

(I lift my hands-somebody lift Him)

I lift my hands in praise

(Somebody say it so the devil will hear you)

Praise is who I am

(Come on praise the Lord)

I will praise Him while I can

I'll bless Him at all times


And I vow to praise You

Through the good and the bad

I'll praise You

Whether happy or sad

I'll praise You

(Somebody lift your voice and say)


Praise is what I do

Even when I am going through

(See I've learned...)

I've learned to worship You

(See I want to let the devil know tonight, even though...)

No, my circumstance doesn't even stand a chance

My praise out weighs the bad


(So I vow to praise)


I vow to praise You

Through the good and the bad

I'll praise You

Whether happy or sad

I'll praise You


Now somebody lift your voice

And just go to praising him right now

Somebody lift your voice in this place

Lift up your voice in this place
