When you're up against a struggle 

That shatters all your dreams 

And your hope's been cruelly crushed 

By Satan's manifested scheme 

And you feel the urge within you 

To submit to earthly fears 

Don't let the faith your standing in 

seem to disappear 



CHORUS 



Praise the Lord 

He can work through those who praise Him 

Praise the Lord 

For our God inhabits praise 

Praise the Lord 

For the chains that seem to bind you 

Serve only to remind you 

That they drop powerless behind you 

When you praise Him 



Now Satan is a liar 

And he wants to make us think 

That we are paupers 

When he knows himself 

We're children of the King 

So lift up the mighty shield of faith 

For the battle must be won 

We know that Jesus Christ is risen 

So the works already done 



CHORUS
