When you're up against a struggle That shatters all your dreams And your hopes have been cruelly crushed By Satan's manifested schemes And you feel the urge within you To submit to earthly fears Don't let the faith you're standing in, seem to disappear Chorus: Praise the Lord He can work with 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 drop 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 knows himself We're children of the King So lift up the mighty shield of faith For the battle has been won We know that Jesus Christ has risen And the work's already done Repeat Chorus (x2) Praise Him Praise the Lord Scriptural Reference: "Then David said to the whole assembly, "Praise the Lord your God." So they all praised the Lord, the God of their fathers; they bowed low and fell prostrate before the Lord and the king." 1 Chronicles 29:20
