My Favorite Praise Songs

These are just some of my favorite praise songs, which keep me going!

This first song is my favorite - it may not seem like a praise or worship song, but the group is so spiritual, and the song really gets to me and moves my heart, because this is exactly how I was just days prior to me asking Jesus to save me!.

Day of Fire - Fade Away Lyrics

Hey, don't wanna run no more
Hey, must find an open door
Hey, ask him to step inside
Hey, I'm tired of this life

I don't wanna waste away
Like I saw myself fading yesterday
I don't wanna feel the shame
I don't wanna waste away
Like I saw myself fading yesterday
I don't wanna feel the pain
I don't wanna waste away

Hey, walk on but don't come forth
Hey, find what I lost before
Hey, must change the shape I'm in
Hey, never go back again

(CHORUS)

I'm coming to know
I'm coming to see you now (see you now)
I'm coming to go
I'm coming to see you now,
Believe you now

I don't wanna waste away,
I don't wanna waste away

(CHORUS til end)

And then there is another song by them that I love- and it kind of shows what I am believing in now - it's called "Through The Fire"

Walk in the flame again
I’ll be there to hold your hand
Keeping you safe until the end
And when the flood begins
I’ll be there with you to stand
Walking in faith until the end

Chorus
I’ll see you through the flood
I’ll see you through the fire
I’ll see you through the storms raging

Walk in the darkest rain
I’ll cover you by my name
I’m shelter inside your world of pain
Step on the waters wave
Come unto me by faith
I am the light of better days

Chorus

Don’t be afraid I’ll never leave you
I am forever yours
Don’t be afraid I’ll never leave you
I am forever yours
Forever yours

"He Reigns "

it's the song of the redeemed
rising from the African plain
it's the song of the forgiven
drowning out the Amazon rain
the song of Asian believers
filled with God's holy fire
it's every tribe, every tongue, every nation
a love song born of a grateful choir

Chorus
it's all God's children singing
glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns
He reigns
it's all God's children singing
glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns
He reigns

let it rise above the four winds
caught up in the heavenly sound
let praises echo from the towers of cathedrals
to the faithful gathered underground
of all the songs sung from the dawn of creation
some were meant to persist
of all the bells rung from a thousand steeples
none rings truer than this

- Chorus -
all God's children singing
glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns
He reigns, He reigns
all God's children singing
glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns
He reigns, He reigns

Bridge
and all the powers of darkness
tremble at what they've just heard
'cause all the powers of darkness
can't drown out a single word

when all God's children sing out
glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns
He reigns, He reigns
all God's children sing out
glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns
He Reigns, He reigns

all God's people singing
glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns (hallelujah)
He Reigns (He reigns), hallelujah
all God's people singing
glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns (hallelujah)
He Reigns (He reigns), hallelujah
all God's people singing
glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns (hallelujah)
He Reigns (hallelujah…)
all God's people singing
glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns (hallelujah)
He Reigns (hallelujah…)
all God's people singing
glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns (hallelujah)
He Reigns (hallelujah…)

all God's children singing
glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns
He reigns
all God's children singing
glory, glory, hallelujah, He reigns
He reigns

Lord, I lift Your Name on high
Rick Founds

Lord, I lift Your Name on high!
Lord, I love to sing Your praises!
I'm so glad You're in my life!
I'm so glad You came to save us!

You came from Heaven to earth
To show the way
From the earth to the cross
My debt to pay
From the cross to the grave
And from the grave to the sky
Lord, I lift Your Name on high!

Come, Now is The Time to Worship
Brian Doerksen

(Chorus)
Come, now is the time to worship!
Come, now is the time to give your heart!
Come, just as you are to worship!
Come, just as you are before your God!
Come!

One day every tongue will confess You are God.
One day every knee will bow.
Still the greatest treasure remains for those
Who gladly choose You now!

Days of Elijah
Robin Mark

These are the days of Elijah
declaring the word of the Lord.
And these are the days of Your servant Moses
righteousness being restored.
And these are the days of great trial,
of famine, and darkness and sword.
And we are the voice in the desert crying
"Prepare ye the way of the Lord!"

(Chorus)
Behold, He comes riding on the clouds,
shining like the sun at the trumpet call.
So lift your voice it's the year of Jubilee,
and out of Zion's Hill salvation comes.

And these are the days of Ezekiel
the dry bones becoming as flesh.
And these are the days of Your servant David,
rebuilding the temple of praise.
And these are the days of the harvest
the fields are as white in the world.
And we are the laborers in Your vineyard
declaring the word of the Lord!

(Bridge 2 - 11x)
There's no god like Jehovah.

Blessed Be Your Name

Blessed be Your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name

blessed be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be Your name

I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's 'all as it should be'
Blessed be Your name

Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name


Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

You give and take away
You give and take away
But my heart will choose to say
You give and take away

Here I Am To Worship

Light of the World
You stepped down into darkness
Opened my eyes
Let me see
Beauty that made
This heart adore You
Hope of a life
Spent with You

Chorus:
Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me

King of all days
Oh, so highly exalted
Glorious in Heaven above
Humbly You came
To the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor

Chorus...

I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross

Chorus X2

Did You Feel The Mountains Tremble?
Martin Smith

Did you feel the mountains tremble?
Did you hear the oceans roar?
When the people rose to sing of
Jesus Christ the risen one

Did you feel the people tremble?
Did you hear the singers roar?
When the lost began to sing of
Jesus Christ the risen one

And we can see that God you're moving
A mighty river through the nations
And young and old will turn to Jesus
Fling wide your heavenly gates
Prepare the way of the risen Lord

Open up the doors and let the music play
Let the streets resound with singing
Songs that bring your hope
Songs that bring your peace
Dancers who dance upon injustice

Did you feel the darkness tremble?
When all the saints join in one song
And all the streams flow as one river
To wash away our brokeness

And here we see that God you're moving
A time of Jubilee is coming
When young and old return to Jesus
Fling wide your heavenly gates
Prepare the way of the risen Lord

Honestly, I believe in you
Do you trust in me
Patiently, I will stand by you
I will stand beside you faithfully

And through the years
I will be a friend
For always and forever

Call on me and I'll be there for you
I'm a friend who always will be true
And I love you can't you see
That I can say I love you honestly

Call on me and I'll be there for you
I'm a friend who always will be true
And I love you can't you see
That I love you honestly
And will never betray your trust in me
And I love you can't you see
That I can say I love you honestly

NEVERTHELESS (I`M IN LOVE WITH YOU)

[verse 1]:
I KNEW THE TIME HAD TO COME

WHEN I`D BE HELD UNDER YOUR THUMB.

I`M LIKE A PAWN IN YOUR HAND,

MOVED AND COMPELLED,

AT YOUR COMMAND.

WHETHER IT`S FOR BAD OR FOR GOOD,

I WOULD NEVER CHANGE IF I COULD.


[Chorus]:

MAYBE I`M RIGHT

AND MAYBE I`M WRONG,

AND MAYBE I`M WEAK

AND MAYBE I`M STRONG,

BUT, NEVERTHELESS,

I`M IN LOVE WITH YOU.

MAYBE I`LL WIN

AND MAYBE I`LL LOSE,

AND MAYBE I`M IN

FOR CRYIN` THE BLUES,

BUT, NEVERTHELESS,

I`M IN LOVE WITH YOU.


SOMEHOW, I KNOW AT A GLANCE

THE TERRIBLE CHANCES I`M TAKING:

FINE AT THE START,

THEN LEFT WITH A HEART

THAT IS BREAKING.


MAYBE I`LL LIVE

A LIFE OF REGRET,

AND MAYBE I`LL GIVE

MUCH MORE THAN I GET,

BUT, NEVERTHELESS,

I`M IN LOVE WITH YOU.


[verse 2]:

IN SPITE OF ALL I COULD DO,

I WENT AHEAD FALLING FOR YOU.

SO IF I LAUGH OR I CRY,

I MADE MY BED,

THAT`S WHERE I`LL LIE.

FOR WHAT HAPPENS

THERE`S NO EXCUSE,

I PUT MY OWN HEAD

IN THE NOOSE.


[Chorus]:

MAYBE I`M RIGHT

AND MAYBE I`M WRONG,

AND MAYBE I`M WEAK

AND MAYBE I`M STRONG,

BUT, NEVERTHELESS,

I`M IN LOVE WITH YOU.

MAYBE I`LL WIN

AND MAYBE I`LL LOSE,

AND MAYBE I`M IN

FOR CRYIN` THE BLUES,

BUT, NEVERTHELESS,

I`M IN LOVE WITH YOU.


SOMEHOW, I KNOW AT A GLANCE

THE TERRIBLE CHANCES I`M TAKING:

FINE AT THE START,

THEN LEFT WITH A HEART

THAT IS BREAKING.


MAYBE I`LL LIVE

A LIFE OF REGRET,

AND MAYBE I`LL GIVE

MUCH MORE THAN I GET,

BUT, NEVERTHELESS,

I`M IN LOVE WITH YOU.

Lord, Reign In Me
Words and Music by Brenton Brown

Over all the earth You reign on high
Every mountain stream, every sunset sky
But my one request, Lord my only aim
Is that You reign in me again

Lord reign in me, reign in Your power
Over all my dreams, in my darkest hour
You are the Lord of all I am
So won't You reign in me again

Over every thought, over every word
May my life reflect the beauty of my Lord
Cause You mean more to me than any earthly thing
So won't You reign in me again

The Coloring Song, By Petra

Red is the color of the blood that flowed down
the face of someone who loved us so,
He's the perfect man, He's the Lord's own Son, He's the only one ,
That can give us life, that can make us grow,
that can make the Love between us flow

Blue is the color of a heart so cold that
will not bend when the story's told,
of the Love of God for A sinful race ,
of the Blood that flowed down Jesus' Face
That can give us life, that can make us grow,
that can keep our hearts from growing cold

Gold is the color of the morning sun that shines so freely on everyone,
it's the sun Above that keeps us warm,
it's the Son of Love that Calms the Storm
That can give us life, that can make us grow,
that can turn our mornings into gold

Brown is the color of the autumn leaves,
when the winter comes to the barren trees,
there is birth , there is death ,there is a plan
and there's just one God and there's Just one Man
That can give us life, that can make us grow,
that can make our sins as white as snow

That can give us life, that can make us grow,
that can turn our mornings into gold,
That can give us life, that can make us grow,
that can keep our hearts from growing cold,
That can give us life, that can make us grow,
that can make the Love between us flow

Audioslave - Revelations

You know what to do, you know what I did
Since you know everything just clue me in
I am such a wreck, I am such a mess
I know what I know, why don't you fill in the rest?
I will bring you down, I will make it bad
While you're feelin' proud, why don't you help me?

Such a shame that I wouldn't know by now
Your revelations
Cut me in, I don't wanna live without
Your revelations, revelations

You know what to say, you know what I said
You know what I dream sleeping in my bed
You hold all the keys, you know all the roads
Why don't you guide me in, if I'm such a lost soul?
I'm spinnin' 'round, I will make you ill
Since I'm so broken down, why don't you fix me?

Such a shame that I wouldn't know by now (I wouldn't know by now)
Your revelations
Cut me in, I don't wanna live without (Don't wanna live without)
Your revelations

I am haunted when I am sleeping
Try to give without receiving
It's in the applebite (It's in the applebite)
It's in the days and nights (It's in the days and nights)
In the afterlife we'll reap

Such a shame that I wouldn't know by now (I wouldn't know by now)
Your revelations
Cut me in, I don't wanna live without (Don't wanna live without)
Your revelations
Such a shame, such a shame that I wouldn't know by now
Cut me in, I don't wanna live without (Don't wanna live without)
Your revelations
