Lyrics
Verse 1:
With thanksgiving, we boldly come to your presence
We know Your arms are wide open, You’re welcoming us in
You have promised, to never leave or forsake us
No matter what comes against us, we’re trusting You alone
Half Chorus:
Make this place a house of praise
With hearts on fire and hands upraised
We will worship and adore
All honour to our risen Lord
Verse 2:
It’s Your blood, the price You paid for our freedom
Your sacrifice for our healing, we bow before Your throne
Shackles broken, we’re free to live out Your purpose
To show Your life living in us, redeemed by Your great love
Full Chorus:
Make this place a house of praise
With hearts on fire and hands upraised
We will worship and adore
All honour to our risen Lord
We will dance and we will sing
With shouts of praise to God our King
Lift the roof on the house of praise
Won’t stop praising all our days
Bridge:
Praise the Lord, O my soul
I will not forget
All that He has done for me
And He’s not finished yet!
Behind the song
5th song, and title track, from my praise EP ‘House Of Praise’.
When I wrote this song, I had a vision of a whole church gathering lifting up their voices and hands in praise to God – that sense of corporate togetherness and unity. This became the central theme of the EP aswell as the title track and inspiration for the cover art.
