Well, my son, Malachi inspired me to write the song. He was learning how to play the drums and the melody that he was playing just stuck in my head. I started singing the praises go up, the blessings come down and Malachi started changing the rythym and before you knew it, we wrote a song. Remember, that God will even use a child to help share the good news!
"The Praises Go Up"
Verse 1:
When you're feeling down
Trouble all around
Lift your hands and praise the Lord
Trials all around, Satan got you bound
Lift your hands and Praise the Lord
Chorus:
He said he would never leave me
Never leave me or forsake me
He said he would never leave me
He's never failed me yet
Verse 2:
When you're down and out
God will bring you out
Lift your hands and Praise the Lord
You're never alone
God sits on the throne
LIft your hands and Praise the Lord
Chorus:
He said he would never leave me
Never leave me or forsake me
He said he would never leave me
He's never failed me yet
Vamp:
When the Praises go Up
The blessing they come down!
