I Just Want to Praise the Lord



I Just Want to Praise the Lord

(Rich Mullins)

This is the song that the mountain sang
on the day that he was born.
This is the song that the river sang
when around the mountain she was formed.
This is the song that the sky sang
when it received the gift of the dawn.
This is the music of the universe
and, I think we all should just sing along.

chorus: I just want to praise the Lord!
I just want to praise the Lord!
Hallelujah! Singing Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!

This is the song that the ocean sang
as it beat upon the shore
Speaking to me of the futility
and the senselessness of our making war.
This is the song that the forest sang
with its limbs forever raised
Telling me that God alone
is worthy of the music and the praise!

chorus: I just want to praise the Lord!
I just want to praise the Lord!

Bridge: You can talk about technocracy
That you made it a god; prayed it would set you free.
You can look around and see what its done;
How we've blocked out the sky
And the children can't see the sun.
The children can't see the sun.
And you can't see the sun.....
There's no sun!

And, I just want to praise the Lord!
I just want to praise the Lord!
I just want to praise the Lord!
And, I.......
