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

1.
Lord, give us Christian homes!
Homes where the Scripture is planted and learned,
Homes filled with mercy and lead by Your Word,
Homes where Your Spirit endures.

2.
Lord, give us Christian homes!
Be with the fathers and help them lead on;
May they be present, consistent, and strong,
Shielding their families from wrong.

3.
Lord, give us Christian homes!
Be with the mothers and help them to love;
May they be robed in good works from above,
Showing the power of your blood.

4.
Lord, give us Christian homes!
Be with the children and help them to grow;
Teach them the fruits of Your Spirit to show,
Keeping them safe from the foe.

Lord, give us Christian homes!

–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
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!

1.
I've always failed to comprehend
A perfect God who'd save imperfect me;
You know my heart, You've seen my sin,
And still You came to set my spirit free.

CHORUS
Lord, You turn me inside out;
You see the parts of me
That no one else can see,
You turn my life around
Till all the world can see is You,
You turn me inside out.

2. 
Your Living Word, the sharpest knife,
It cleaves my soul and cuts my spirit deep.
There's nowhere left for sin to hide;
My heart is on display for You to see.
