Let everything that has breath
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord

Praise when I’m doubting
I’ll praise when outnumbered
Praise when surrounded
‘Cause praise is the water
My enemies drown in

As long as I’m breathing
I’ve got a reason to

Praise the Lord oh my soul
Praise the Lord oh my soul
Verse 2
I’ll praise when I feel it
And I’ll praise when I don’t
I’ll praise ’cause I know
You’re still in control
‘Cause my praise is a weapon
It’s more than a sound

That brings Jericho down
