I give you praise.

 I Give You Praise

I give You praise.

From the well of a grateful heart,this offering I raise.

Not as a debt to pay,but as a treasure to impart,

The honest overflow of a redeemed and ransomed heart.

I praise You for the grace that found me in my shame.

I praise You for thelove that calls me by my name.

I praise You for theblood that speaks a better word.

I praise You for thetruth my spirit long has heard.

I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever. (Psalm 86:12)

I praise You in the morning, for mercies newly born.

I praise You in thenight, for hope until the dawn.

With every breath You lend me,a testament of grace,

I will use it to seek and to reflect Your holy face.

Let my hands be praise in action, let my feet be praise in stride,

Let my words be praise in truth,with no place for foolish pride.

Let my life become a temple where praise is ever heard,

A continuous confession of Your goodness,O my Lord.

For great are You, Lord, and most worthy of praise.

Join my soul with all creation through unending days.

From this moment to forever,this shall be my story’s theme:

I give You praise.

My strength.My song. My everything.

Amen.
