choir anthem lyrics

When you're up against a struggle that shatters all your dreams,

and your hopes have 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 you're standin' in seem to disappear.

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 are 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 knowshimself 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 work's already done.

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 are powerless behind you

when you praise Him.
