PRAISE
          I Will Sing
I will sing because I'm happy,
I will sing because I'm free
I will sing for my Jesus, you see He died for me
Though the tune may not be perfect
God sees the heart and knows
That is why I will keep on singing
No matter where I go

Jesus put the song in my heart
When we met at Calvary
He gave His life for me upon that old tree
He took the stripes  and shed his blood
Just to meet my needs
He put a song in my heart
When I met Him on my knees

Oh' there is a peace that cannot be explained
There is a joy deep inside
Just to know that the one
Who hung on that tree and died
Walks with me from day to day
And He will never leave my side
So I will sing and tell His story
Until he comes to get his bride
I Lift My Hands (In Praise)

Love lifted me above the storms
Love lifted me above the waves
Love lifted me above life's problems
My hands I lift to you in praise
You are that love that spans the ages
You are that love that calms all rage
You are that love that is boundless
My hands I lift to you in praise
Your love can change the vilest sinner
Your love to all men you gave
Your love is everlasting
My hands I lift to you in praise
       Thou Art Holy
Lord thou art Holy I praise thy Holy name
I bow before you on bended knee
I lift thy name above all names
You are the rock of my salvation
Through you I have been set free
I lift my hands in praise to thee
I give you glory and honor
Lord I worship thee
You are my Messiah, my provider
all my praise I give to thee
               I've Heard Songs
I've heard songs sung about the gates of pearl
And the streets of gold,and the saints of old
but I've got a song to sing about the one who died for me
and I'm gonna sing and praise His name for all eternity

You may sing about Jonah and the mighty whale
You may sing about the woman who met Jesus at the well
You may sing about Daniel in the lions den
But I've come to sing of Jesus the beginning and the end

He's the one that came to this earth
To walk like you and me
Then He went to Calvary to die on that tree

He arose on the third day
He's the one that takes our sins away
And now we can live eternally
              All My Praise
I praise you for the blessings that are falling on me
I thank you for my open eyes that I now can see
I thank you for the burdens that have been rolled away
I thank you for the peace I have within from day to day

There is no price can be put on what I have inside
You showed me what I could be
If I let you be my strength and my guide
And if I spend  time on my knees
All things are now possible because I choose to believe

All my praise I give to thee
I could not have done it on my own
My soul is now rejoicing I no longer stand alone
Things I thought impossible I know now can be done
I give all my praise to thee my father and His son
        A NEW SONG
I sing because I am happy
I sing because I am free
I will sing for my Jesus
You see he died for me
Though the tune may not be perfect
God sees the heart and knows
That is why I will keep on singing
No matter where I go

He gave me a purpose
To want to live another day
He gave me a reason
To want to lift and praise his name
He turned my whole life around
He let me start anew
My past he forgot about
He will do the same for you
                     Hallelujah
I'm gonna sing hallelujah when I step inside those gates
I can feel the time approaching oh, I can hardly wait
I'm gonna cry hosanna when I kneel before that throne
hallelujah
I'll soon be going home

I'm gonna sing hallelujah until that trumpet sounds
I'm gonna praise his name until I leave the ground
Oh can't you feel it, the time is drawing nigh
hallelujah
I'll meet you up on high

Hallelujah, well glory hallelujah
Hallelujah, when I step inside those gates
Hallelujah, well glory hallelujah
Hallelujah, oh I can hardly wai
