1.
You fill my heart with songs to sing,
I give it back in praise.
With every breath You give to me,
I give it back in praise. 
You are my Joy, You are my Peace,
I give it back in praise.
My Purpose and my Destiny,
I give it back in praise.
How can I ever repay?

CHORUS.
God, I worship You
As my soul longs to do;
All that I have,
I give it back in praise.
As a sacrifice
I will give my life;
All of my heart
Into Your arms I raise.
All that I have,
I give it back in praise.

2.
You fill my soul with life anew,
I give it back in praise.
And all my darkness runs from You,
I give it back in praise. 
You are my Fortress, safe from sin,
I give it back in praise.
Your kingdom overcomes again,
I give it back in praise.
How can I ever repay?

CHORUS.
God, I worship You
As my soul longs to do;
All that I have,
I give it back in praise.
As a sacrifice
I will give my life;
All of my heart
Into Your arms I raise.
All that I have,
I give it back in praise.

BRIDGE.
God, I fall before You,
I worship and adore You,
I’ve nothing for You but praise
(2x)

CHORUS.
God, I worship You
As my soul longs to do;
All that I have,
I give it back in praise.
As a sacrifice
I will give my life;
All of my heart
Into Your arms I raise.
All that I have,
I give it back in praise.

I Give It Back In Praise - Haden A. Ayers

–Lyrics–

1.
We didn't see You when You came
Into this world of sin and death;
We didn't see You live in shame
In that despised Nazareth;
But we believe You walked upon
This earth You made, O Son of God.
Yes, we believe You walked upon
This earth You made, O Son of God.

2.
We didn't see You lifted high
Amid that wild and savage crew;
We didn't hear You when You cried,
"Forgive, they know not what they do!"
But we believe the work was done
That shook the earth and veiled the sun.
Yes, we believe the work was done
That shook the earth and veiled the sun.

3.
We didn't see the open tomb
Where once Your mangled body lay;
We didn't see the "upper room"
Or meet You walking on the way;
But we believe that angels said,
"Why seek the Living with the dead?"
Yes, we believe that angels said,
"Why seek the Living with the dead?"

4.
We weren't among the chosen few
Who saw You from the earth ascend;
Who raised to heav'n their wond'ring view,
Then low to earth in worship bent;
But we believe that human eyes
Beheld that journey to the skies. 
Yes, we believe that human eyes
Beheld that journey to the skies.

CODA.
Amen, amen, (3x)
We have not seen, but we believe!

Lyrics:

v1
God of all, hear my cry!
I am thankful for the blessings
That You bestowed to me.
Creation sings the song of life.
Lord, hear us sing!

Thank You for all the freedoms
And the joys of daily life
Thank You, Lord, for the precious gift,
Of Your Son, Jesus Christ.

v2
God of all, hear my cry!
There are many who are sick
In spirit and in mind.
Please, pull them from Satan’s shadows,
No longer to be blind.

The ill in health and the poor in wealth,
Need your gentle, helping hand.
Lord, please heal them and help them face,
This sinful land.

v3
God of all, hear my cry!
Lord, I fear the flame is low,
That once lit my heart aflame.
I am hurting from my sin.
Lord, I call on Your name!

Please, hold me in your warm embrace;
Guide me through this world of stress.
Heat my heart to ignite again.
Fill me with Your righteousness!

Chorus
God of all, hear my cry!
Let these things be done,
By Your will, not mine.
Please, forgive these sins in my life.
Thank You for Jesus Christ.

All these things, I humbly pray,
In Jesus’ holy name.
Amen.

God Of All, Hear My Cry! - Andrew Martin & Austin Jones

Lyrics:

v1
With voices of joy, we sing praise to the King!
Oh, friend, lend me an ear, hear the news that we bring.
God loved us so much that He gave us His Son,
Who died and rose; for us, the vict’ry He won!

v2
With hearts full of love, we show thanks to the Lord!
He inspired the writers who gave us His Word.
That Word speaks so loud and it shows us the way,
So we may follow and be with Him that day!

v3
With voices so soft, we lift prayers to our God.
We plead for forgiveness, His mercy, and love.
We thank Him for blessing our small, earthly lives.
With one voice, shouting, “Praise His name up on high!”

Chorus
Our praise be to God! He is our great escape.
He shields us from sin and the venom of the snake.
He could have brought His wrath, but He held it in its place.
That’s why we sing His praise!

Why We Sing - Andrew Martin & Austin Jones

Lyrics:

v1
Break my heart, dear Lord,
tear the barriers down;
Show me in convicting tears
the glories of Your crown.

Chorus
My heart is hard, my soul so weak.
The ways of evil cut so deep;
I need you, Lord, to come inside
and gently break my heart.

v2
My sin is great, but I can see
the glories set for me;
Show me, Father, where to start
and gently break my heart.

Chorus
My heart is hard, my soul so weak.
The ways of evil cut so deep;
I need you, Lord, to come inside
and gently break my heart.
