Lyrics
Verse 1
There's only one voice that brings dead things to life
Only one power to save
Christ has redeemed us and healed our diseases
Hallelujah, victory
Verse 2
Conquering King He purchased our freedom
Triumphing on the cross
With nail-pierced hands, He plucked us from darkness
Hallelujah, we have been found
Chorus
And all of our praise is Yours, all of our worship
There's only One deserving of praise
All of our lives bowed down in surrender
There's only One found worthy of praise
Verse 3
The heart of the Father hurting and broken
As death brought His son to that grave
In silence, the light dawned hope of redemption
Hallelujah, death's not the end
Verse 4
For the wounds in His side tore the veil from our eyes
He is our King and our Priest
His voice in the darkness shouted forgiveness
Hallelujah, it is finished
Chorus
All of our praise is Yours, all of our worship
There's only One deserving of praise
All of our lives bowed down in surrender
There's only One found worthy of praise
Bridge
When sin tried to slay me, mercy saved me
All of my life I owe
To the One who was raised, high on a hill
All of my love I owe
When sin tried to slay me, mercy saved me
All of my life I owe
To the One who was raised, high on a hill
All of my love I owe
When sin tried to slay me, mercy saved me
All of my life I owe
To the One who was raised, high on a hill
All of my love I owe
Chorus
And all of our praise is Yours, all of our worship
There's only One deserving of praise
All of our lives bowed down in surrender
There's only One found worthy of praise
Oh

Meaning & Inspiration
All of Our Praise is a worship song that gives credit to Jesus for salvation and answers with surrender. The first verses declare that there is only one voice that brings dead things to life, that Christ redeemed and healed, and that the Conquering King purchased freedom, triumphing on the cross and plucking the lost from darkness with nail-pierced hands. The chorus gives all praise, worship and life to Him, as the only One found worthy.
The next verses picture the Father hurting as His Son went to the grave, the dawning of hope in silence, the torn veil and the cry that it is finished. The bridge repeats that when sin tried to slay, mercy saved, and all of life and love is owed to the One raised on the hill. The themes follow John 19:30, Matthew 27:51 and Ephesians 2:4-5. The building structure and repeated bridge give the song a reverent, grateful tone.
