[Verse 1] Oh God, You are my loving Father I praise You just for who You are My strength, my hope, my salvation My hiding place, my morning star With every breath that I am breathing I lift Your holy name on high Yesterday, today, forever Your steadfast love will never die [Chorus] I will forever praise You I will forever praise You Forever and a thousand years I will praise Your holy name (Oh, I will praise Your holy name) [Verse 2] When I’m cast down, my heart is breaking You lift me up and hold me near You mend the pieces that are shattered And sing Your songs to calm my fear When darkness fills my every moment Your light still shines to lead the way If I will follow in Your footsteps Your truth will set my soul free today [Chorus] I will forever praise You I will forever praise You Forever and a thousand years I will praise Your holy name (Oh, I will praise Your holy name) [Verse 3] When pride and selfishness consume me And fleshly wants control my heart Your love convicts my wandering spirit And calls me back to where You are When I return in true repentance Your mercy washes every stain You run to meet me with arms open Like a lost child coming home again [Chorus] I will forever praise You I will forever praise You Forever and a thousand years I will praise Your holy name [Bridge] And when my final breath is taken When I hear You call my name I’ll take Your hand into Your glory And with the angels I’ll proclaim [Final Chorus – build with layers] I will forever praise You All heaven and earth will praise You Forever and a thousand years We will praise Your holy name (We will praise Your holy name) [Tag – repeat softly, then build or fade] Forever and a thousand years We will praise Your holy name Forever and a thousand years We will praise Your holy name
