Lyrics
When I was lost when I was broken
There was no hope found in my own sin
You called my name and spoke deliverance
There on that hill top Your loving kindness
Tore through the strongholds and broke the darkness
Your mercy rushed in and pulled me from the grave
From the grave
Jesus
There's no higher name than Jesus
There's no greater name than Jesus
No other name like Yours
Jesus
For now I'm found in Christ my Savior
Seated with Him secured forever
Victorious King You reign forevermore
Forevermore
Holy in my life be lifted up
May Your will and kingdom come
Holy the defender of my heart
You are good it’s who You are

Meaning & Inspiration
Be Praised traces a movement from ruin and helplessness to rescue in Christ. Its opening images of being lost, broken, and trapped in sin establish the need for deliverance, while the hilltop and grave language points toward the saving work of Jesus. The repeated confession that no name is higher keeps the song centered on Christ rather than on personal recovery alone.
The later lines turn salvation into worship and obedience. Being found, secure, and made victorious leads to a prayer that Jesus would be lifted up in daily life and that his kingdom would come. The description of God as both defender and good gives the closing section a tone of trust. The lyrics closely echo the biblical witness that salvation is found in Jesus alone and that believers are raised and seated with Christ. Together, these themes present praise as a response to mercy, deliverance, and the enduring reign of the victorious King.
