Verse 1: Brandon Lake

I’ll praise when outnumbered, praise when surrounded
‘Cause praise is the waters my enemies drown in

Praise the Lord, oh my soul (C’mon)
Praise the Lord, oh my soul
Verse 2: Chris Brown & Chandler Moore
I’ll praise when I feel it, and I’ll praise when I don’t (Yeah)

‘Cause my praise is a weapon, it’s more than a sound (More than a sound)
Oh, my praise is the shout that brings Jericho down (Yeah)
Chorus: Brandon Lake & Chandler Moore, Both
As long as I’m breathing
I’ve got a reason to
Praise the Lord (C’mon), oh my soul

C’mon let me see that dance, put a dance on it tonight (Yeah)
If you’re grateful, c’mon
Hey, hey, yeah

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, praise ’cause You reign (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

How could I keep it inside? (I won’t keep quiet)
I won’t be quiet, my God is alive
How could I keep it inside? (I gotta)
Praise the Lord, oh my soul
