PRAISE CHORUSES


COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

 

When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed,

When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,

Count your many blessings, name them one by one,

And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done. 

 

Refrain:

Count your blessings, name them one by one;

Count your blessings, see what God hath done;

Count your blessings, name them one by one;

Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.


Are you ever burdened with a load of care?

Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?

Count your many blessings, ev'ry doubt will fly,

And you will be singing as the days go by. [Refrain]

 

 

LET IT RISE

 

Let the glory of the Lord rise among us. 

Let the glory of the Lord rise among us. 

Let the praises of our King rise among us. 

Let it rise. 

 

Oh, let it rise! 

Oh, let it rise! 

 

Let the power of the Lord . . . 

Let the songs of the Lord . . . 

Let the shouts of the Lord . . . 

 

 

GIVE THANKS WITH A GRATEFUL HEART


Give thanks with a grateful heart   

Give thanks to the Holy One   

Give thanks because He's given Jesus Christ, 

His Son

And now let the weak say, "I am strong"   

Let the poor say, "I am rich”   

Because of what the Lord has done for us    

And now let the weak say, "I am strong"   

Let the poor say, "I am rich”   

Because of what the Lord has done for us 

Give thanks



WHEN I REMEMBER WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE

 

When I remember what the Lord has done

I will never go back anymore

When I remember what the Lord has done

I will never go back anymore

 

Looking back over my life

And I see how far God's brought me

So I'll never go back anymore!

I've been discouraged along the way

But He's been faithful

So I'll never go back anymore

 

When I remember what the Lord has done

I will never go back anymore

When I remember what the Lord has done

I will never go back anymore


No no no, no no no

I will never go back anymore

No, no no, no no no

I will never go back anymore

 

 

YOUR GRACE AND MERCY

 

Your grace and mercy, brought me through

I'm living this moment, because of You

I want to thank You, and praise You too

Your grace and mercy, brought me through

 

JESUS BE A FENCE


Jesus be a fence all around me everyday

Jesus I want you to protect me as I travel along the way

I know you can(yes Lord)

I know you will (yes Lord)

Fight my battle(yes Lord)

If I just keep still (yes lord)

Lord be a fence all around me everyday

 

This is my prayer Lord that I pray each and every day

That you would guide my footsteps lest I stumble and stray

Lord, I need you to direct me all the way long

Oh Lord be a fence all around me everyday

Come help me say, Jesus…

 

Sometimes the way get so rough y'all

And the nights are so long

In my hour of weakness, that old enemy tries to steal my soul

But when he comes like a flood to surround me

My God will step in and a standard he'll raise

Oh Lord be a fence all around me everyday

Ohhh Jesus

 

Jesus be a fence (Jesus be a fence) - Rpt
