PRAISE HIS NAME

VERSE 1

As I lay me down to sleep
I close my weary eyes to pray
I thank Him for everything
That he did for me.

I thank Him for the stars above
For His never ending love
For His son who came
Crucified yet still he reigns.

CHORUS 1

I praise His name
I praise His holy name
Higher than the eagles fly
Higher than the highest mountainside.

I praise His name.

I praise his holy name.

VERSE 2

As I wake to face the day
I keep His words right in my heart
I thank Him for salvation
Cause He died for me

I thank Him for His redeeming blood
He did all that He should
Now its up to me
Saved for the world to see.

CHORUS 2

I praise His name
I praise His holy name
Higher than the bright blue sky
Higher than the highest star will shine.

I praise His name.

I praise His holy name.

The only problem with writing a song out like this is that it loses much of its impact. I can sit here, sing it, and it sounds so beautiful. Yet when I look at the words that I just typed on my screen, it seems diminished.

I hope that you can put your own music to these words as you read it and feel the same spiritual connection I do when I look upon them. Enjoy and I pray that God will watch over you and keep you safe from evil.
