PRAISE CHORUSES


HE HAS DONE GREAT THINGS  

  

He has done great things for me

Great things, great things

He has done great things for me

He has made a way for me

Made a way, made a way

He has made a way for me

 

He will give you victory

Victory, victory

He will give you victory
 

I’m gonna be a witness for Him

Witness, witness

I’m gonna be a witness for Him

 

I’m gonna let my little light shine

Shine, shine

I’m gonna let my little light shine

 

 

PRAISE IN THE TEMPLE

 

CHORUS

When there's a praise in the temple and a praise in the house
You can usher in the Spirit and remove the devil out
God will open up a window and a blessing He'll pour out
When there's a praise in the temple and a praise in the house

 

BRIDGE

It's service time, it's service time
Enter into the gates with thanksgiving and a praise on your mind
It's service time, it's service time
Get up outta that seat
Stand up on your feet
Let's clap to the beat, it's service time

 

SOLO

You won't leave like you came in Jesus name
There's a blessing in this house that you can claim
All you have to do is speak it, it's in your name
You won't leave like you came in Jesus name

 

You won't leave like you came in Jesus name
There's a blessing waiting on you, you can claim
It's predestined and ordained, it's in your name

You wont' leave like you came in Jesus name

 

 

SINCE I LAID MY BURDENS DOWN 

 

Glory, glory, Hallelujah!  

Since I laid my burdens down 

Glory, glory, Hallelujah! 

Since I laid my burdens down 

 

Friends don’t treat me like they used to 

Since I laid my burdens down 

Friends don’t treat me like they used to 

Since I laid my burdens down 

 

I feel better, so much better 

Since I laid my burdens down 

I feel better, so much better 

Since I laid my burdens down

 

 

THE BLOOD NEVER LOSES

 

Put it up to the greatest issue
Put it up to the highest mountain
Put it to the test
The blood never loses

Put it up to transgression
Put it up to recession
Put it to the test
The blood never loses

The intensity doesn't even matter
When the blood steps in things shatters
Your problems can't compete where they don't compare
The blood of Jesus can interrupt warfare
His children He never refuses
The blood never loses!
The blood never loses!
(repeat from beginning)

Oh, I found the blood of Jesus
Can break through strongholds
Break through principalities
It won't lose

Oh, the blood of Jesus
Can protect you from wickedness
It speaks louder than words
It won't lose

People are gonna wonder how you're gonna win
Wonder how your end's gonna be
And you tell 'em

 

The blood's gonna help me win
The blood's gonna help me win

 

VAMP
Put the blood on it, The blood on it
The blood on it, The blood on it
The blood on it, the blood never loses

People gonna wonder how you're gonna win
Wonder how your end's gonna be
And you tell 'em The blood's gonna help me win

 

 

THERE IS NONE LIKE YOU 

 

There is none like You 

No one else can touch my heart like You do 

I could search for all eternity Lord 

And find there is none like You

 

 

MELODIES FROM HEAVEN

 

Melodies from heaven

Rain down on me, rain down on me

Melodies from heaven

Rain down on me, rain down on me

 

Take me in Your arms and hold me close

Rain down on me, rain down on me

Fill me with Your precious Holy Ghost

Rain down on me, rain down on me

 

VAMP
Rain down on me!  Let it fall on me!
