When you're up against a struggle
That shatters all your dreams
And your hopes have been cruely crushed
By Satan's manifested schemes

And you feel the urge within you
To submit to earthly fears
Don't let the faith you're standing in
Seem to disappear

CHORUS:
Praise the Lord
He can work through/for those who praise him
Praise the Lord
For our God inhabits praise
Praise the Lord
For the chains that seem to bind you
Serve only to remind you
They draw powerless behind you
When you praise him

Now Satan is a liar
And he wants to make us think
That we are paupers when he knows himself
We're children of the King

So lift up the mighty shield of faith
For the battle must be won
We know that Jesus Christ is risen
So the work's already done

(Praise the Lord)
Praise him
(Praise the Lord)
Praise Him
(Praise the Lord)

When you praise Him
(When you praise)
When you praise Him
When you praise the Lord
