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!
