Praise Him

“Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord.” – Psalm 150:6

Elevation Worship is a church-led band that was created in 2007. It released the worship song “Praise” in 2023.

The song was inspired by several Psalms.
It starts off by proclaiming that all creation should praise God. Elevation Worship explains that this praise extends beyond times of joy. When they face trials, tribulation, and persecution, they will continue to praise. It reaches beyond the church walls, spilled onto the streets, which is heard even by their enemies. They worship because He rules over everything, rose from the grave, is trustworthy, and the source of truth.

Its most iconic lines are a battle cry:
“My praise is a weapon
Its more than a sound
My praise is the shout
That brings Jericho down”.

“Praise” challenges us to praise the Lord no matter what.

In everything praise the Lord.

“As long as I’m breathing
I’ve got a reason to
Praise the Lord (C’mon), oh my soul
Praise the Lord, oh my soul
I won’t be quiet, my God is alive
So how could I keep it inside? (I gotta)
Praise the Lord, oh my soul
(Yeah, praise the Lord)” – Brandon

“Let all that I am praise the Lord; with my whole heart, I will praise His holy name. Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things He does for me.” – Psalm 103:1-2
