Shout to the Lord
My Jesus, my savior, Lord there is none like You
All of my days I want to praise, the wonders of Your mighty love
My comfort, my shelter, tower of refuge and strength
Let every breath, all that I am, never cease to worship You
Shout to the Lord all the Earth, let us sing
Power and majesty, praise to the King
Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
At the sound of Your name
I sing for joy at the work of Your hands
Forever I'll love You, forever I'll stand
Nothing compares to the promise I have
In You
God of Wonders
Lord of all creation, of water, earth and sky
The heavens are your Tabernacle
Glory to the Lord on high
And God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your majesty
You are holy, holy
Lord of heaven and earth
Lord of heaven and earth
So early in the morning
I will celebrate the light
As I stumble in the darkness
I will call your name by night
And God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your majesty
You are holy, holy
Lord of heaven and earth
Lord of heaven and earth
Hallelujah! To the Lord of heaven and earth (x3)

Gratitude
All my words fall short, I got nothing new
How could I express, all my gratitude
I could sing these songs, as I often do
But every song must end and You never do
So I throw up my hands and praise You again and again
‘Cause all that I have is a hallelujah, hallelujah
And I know it’s not much but I’ve nothing else fit for a king
Except for a heart singing hallelujah, hallelujah
I’ve got one response I’ve got just one move
With my arms stretched wide I will worship You
Come on my soul
Oh don’t you get shy on me
Lift up your song
‘Cause you’ve got a lion inside of those lungs
Get up and praise the Lord
