This is another song written by Matt Searles here in the UK, as well as Matt Merker. As mentioned previously he has written songs specifically with congregational singing in mind. I really appreciate this since a lot of modern songs sound great when your favourite band plays them, but very difficult for congregations to sing due to the key, how complicated it is to play, or the array of instruments needed. This simple, catchy song based on Psalm 146 featuring Sovereign Grace’s Lacy Condy would be a great addition to any church’s weekly song list.
Refrain
Praise the Lord, O my soul
Praise him all my days
Praise him with my every breath
All glory to his name
Do not trust in earthly power
Mortal men who cannot save
For their strength will soon depart
And like the grass they fade away
Rather we shall hope in God
O how blessed to know his grace
Who made earth and sky above
Whose faithfulness shall never fail
Refrain
He gives justice for the poor
To the hungry brings relief
Opens up the blinded eyes
And he will set the captives free
He restores the weary soul
Yet defeats all wickedness
Crowns the widow with his love
A Father to the fatherless
Refrain
He has come to walk with us
Making known the heart of God
Christ our life our only hope
And he shall reign forevermore
Refrain
