(chorus 1)

when you praise, when you praise,

there should be a fire in your heart.

hands up raised, when you praise,

consuming every part because you know

the GOD we serve will make

his presence known, when you praise, 

when you praise.

(2x)



when we think of how wonderful

and merciful and kind

our GOD has been to us.

then we know every glory hallelujah

he deserves, when we praise

(back to chorus 1)



praise will bind, confuse 

and break the enemy.

and cause his hands to be still.

so we raise our hands in total victory

we know we triumph in his will.



(woman sings chorus 1)

when we praise, when we praise,

there should be a fire in your heart.

hands up raised when you praise, 

consuming every part because you know

(chorus)the GOD we serve will make his presence known.

oh, when we praise, when we praise, when we praise.



(fred sings chorus 1)

let us praise, let us praise

with fire in our heart

hands up raised let us praise

consuming every part because you know

the GOD we serve will make his presence known.



(choir w/fred)

when we praise, when we praise, when we praise 

when we praise, when we praise

there is none like you

when you praise, when we praise, when we praise

when we praise, when we praise

our GOD is an awesome GOD yeah

when we praise, when we praise, when we praise

when we praise, when we praise

bless the lord oh my soul(repeat X2)



you can put your hands in here tonight if you want to
