Lord, every word You breathe Could be the breath I breathe Every step You make Could be the beat my heart takes Yet I hold my breath And the rhythm I despise I clasp tight my hands And hold shut my eyes

But I want to praise Your name! In every word I say Lord I want to extol You In everything thing I do I want to praise Your name For all the love You've shown For Yours is the greatest Lord Amongst the nations' thrones I want to praise You

Gazing upon creation It could be the song I sing And I could rest and find You Here in this beautiful simplicity Yet here I am all caught up Because I ran again Then You whisper soft to me “I have paid for that sin!”

I want to praise Your name In every word I say I want everything I do To reveal Your surpassing love I want to praise Your name Beyond the skies and field I want Your love and beauty In my life to be revealed

If I could fathom Your love O' God It would be too small But I can barely trace an edge What encompasses, surpasses all!!

I want to praise Your name Lift it high above the world I want to sing Your praise I want Your Name to fill the earth I will settle for nothing less Nothing less than Your great Renown I will praise Your name Lord The only love the world has known….will know

I will praise You Yes Lord I will praise Praise You! I will praise You! The only love the world has known!
