Baptism & Anniversary Service Lyrics

Praise
V1
I’ll praise in the valley, Praise on the mountain
I’ll praise when I’m sure, Praise when I’m doubting
I’ll praise when outnumbered, Praise when surrounded
‘Cause praise is the water, My enemies drown in
As long as I’m breathing
I’ve got a reason to
Chorus
Praise the Lord, Oh, my soul
Praise the Lord, Oh, my soul
V2
I’ll praise when I feel it, And I’ll praise when I don’t
I’ll praise ’cause I know, You’re still in control
My praise is a weapon, It’s more than a sound
Oh, my praise is the shout, That brings Jericho down
As long as I’m breathing
I’ve got a reason to
Chorus 2
Praise the Lord, Oh, my soul
Praise the Lord, Oh, my soul
I won’t be quiet, my God is alive
So how could I keep it inside?
Praise the Lord
Oh, my soul
Bridge (2x)
I’ll praise ’cause You’re sovereign, Praise ’cause You reign
Praise ’cause You rose and defeated the grave
I’ll praise ’cause You’re faithful, Praise ’cause You’re true
Praise ’cause there’s nobody greater than You,
I’ll praise ’cause You’re sovereign
(You reign) praise ’cause You reign
Praise ’cause You rose and defeated the grave
I’ll praise ’cause You’re faithful
Praise ’cause You’re true
Praise ’cause there’s nobody greater than You
Chorus 2
Praise the Lord, Oh, my soul
Praise the Lord, Oh, my soul
I won’t be quiet, my God is alive
So how could I keep it inside?
Praise the Lord
Oh, my soul

Graves Into Gardens
V1
I searched the world, But it couldn’t fill me
Man’s empty praise, And treasures that fade
Are never enough
Then You came along, And put me back together
And every desire, Is now satisfied
Here in Your love
Chorus
Oh, there’s nothing better than You
There’s nothing better than You
Lord, there’s nothing
Nothing is better than You
V2
I’m not afraid, To show You my weakness
My failures and flaws, Lord, You’ve seen ’em all
And You still call me friend
‘Cause the God of the mountain, Is the God of the valley
There’s not a place, Your mercy and grace
Won’t find me again
Chorus (2x)
Oh, there’s nothing better than You
There’s nothing better than You
Lord, there’s nothing
Nothing is better than You
Bridge
You turn mourning to dancing, You give beauty for ashes
You turn shame into glory, You’re the only one who can (2x)
You turn graves into garden, You turn bones into armies
You turn seas into highways, You’re the only one who can
You’re the only one who can

You will do great things

A Thousand Hallelujahs
V1
Who else would rocks cry out to worship?
Whose glory taught the stars to shine?
Perhaps creation longs to have the words to sing
But this joy is mine
Chorus
With a thousand hallelujahs
We magnify Your name
You alone deserve the glory
The honor and the praise
Lord Jesus
This song is forever Yours
A thousand hallelujahs
And a thousand more
V2
Who else would die for our redemption?
Whose resurrection means I’ll rise?
There isn’t time enough to sing of all You’ve done
But I have eternity to try
Chorus
With a thousand hallelujahs
We magnify Your name
You alone deserve the glory
The honor and the praise
Lord Jesus
This song is forever Yours
A thousand hallelujahs
And a thousand more
Bridge (2x)
Praise to the Lord, To the lamb
To the King of Heaven
Praise for He rose, Now He reigns
We will sing forever
Chorus
With a thousand hallelujahs
We magnify Your name
You alone deserve the glory
The honor and the praise
Lord Jesus
This song is forever Yours
A thousand hallelujahs
And a thousand more

Left It In the Water
V1
Everything I was, Everything I’ve been
God I’ve got my regrets, I was a wretched man
But You called me on down to the water
Met me by the riverside
You took me in, You drowned my sin
And said “dead man come alive!”
Chorus
Then I left it in the water, My yesterdays are history
Left it in the water, Like I went down dirty but I came up clean
Left it (left it), I left it (left it)
I left it in the water
V2
God I still got my struggles
But You’re close to the broken heart
Lord even when I’m falling
I’m falling in mercy’s arms
You found me on my Damascus
And blinded me with Your light
Yeah You took me in, drowned my sin
And said “dead man come alive!”
Chorus
Then I left it in the water, My yesterdays are history
Left it in the water, Like I went down dirty but I came up clean
Left it (left it), I left it (left it)
I left it in the water
Bridge
I am born again
I have been made whole
Nothing but the blood
Washing over my soul
Glory, Hallelujah
Let this signify
All that You have done for me
Lord I got to testify
Chorus
Then I left it in the water, My yesterdays are history
Left it in the water, Like I went down dirty but I came up clean
Left it (left it), I left it (left it)
I left it in the water
