| Each cry of praise begins with Thee
|
| You’ve given the gift of life
|
| And hid in our hearts eternity
|
| Revealed in the mercies of Christ
|
| Tho' darkness surrounds us in shadows of death
|
| We look for Your heavenly rays
|
| The fruit of our lips giving thanks with each breath
|
| We offer to Thee our praise
|
| For Your generous favors O God
|
| For the gift of our freedom in Christ
|
| As an offering of praise unto You
|
| We will give our lives in sacrifice
|
| Our fountain of praise begins with Thee
|
| It flows from Your heart above
|
| Mercy like rain comes cleansing and free
|
| To shower Your children in love
|
| The thirst of our souls left parched by sin
|
| Is quenched by Your river of grace
|
| As rains that ascend to the heavens again
|
| We offer to Thee our praise
|
| The fire of our praise begins with Thee
|
| You bathe us in flames of light
|
| Each fiber within us is yearning to be
|
| Engulfed in the glory of Christ
|
| May all that is empty within be consumed
|
| And fire for Thee set ablaze
|
| With a fragrance of sacrifice sweet as perfume
|
| We offer to Thee our praise
|
| Our praise |
