I PRAISE YOU LORD

I want my praise to be real.

I want God to feel

it from my heart. 

When I lift my hands up high

it's not for a show.

It's just an easy way for me 

to glorify His name.

This used to be hard for me.

But now I do it freely

without any shame.

Draw me closer Lord, closer.

Pull me up under Your wing.

Let me feel Your love

as I let Your praises ring.

I pour my heart out to You.

Singing about Your mercy and grace

with everything that I got.

Standing before You

my heart beats faster

and I feel my body getting hot.

Take me to another place

where I'll never be too distant

from Your face.

Let Your glory shine on me

as I draw even closer to You

and I drop to my knees.

Hands held high

with tears in my eyes

I wish I knew a way to praise you harder.

You're everything to me.

Lord You'll always be my father!
