verse 1:
there's only two times to praise him
when you feel it and when you don't
you'll never stop blessing me
even if I will, even if I won't
so when you see my holy hands lifted high in praise
that doesn't mean I've got a brand new gift today

chorus:
praise him in spite of my darkest hour
praise him in spite of my fear
praise in advance that the war is won
I can praise him for my season's come

verse 2:
little David ran to battle it was his appointed time
David said "There's a giant in front of me, and it looks like a Philistine"
little David how are you going to fight?
you're only five feet tall
when you're anointed matters not if you're tall or small

chorus

pre-bridge:
stand on your feet, praise and honor thee
glory shall be thine, victory shall be mine

bridge:
now is the appointed time for us to bless his name
let the house of God proclaim we will never be the same
now is the appointed time for all the saints of his
to began to live the life so designed for us to live

vamp:
praise is power, praise is strength
praise equivalent to the battles I win
Praise yeilds harvest with the seeds that I sow
that's why I'm going to praise you Lord er'ywhere I go
