Lyrics
I give You praise for You deserve it
I give You praise for what You've done
I give You praise for You are able
I'll give You praise 'til I overcome
I give You praise when the sun is shining
I give You praise in the dark of night
I give You praise when the battle rages
I give You praise 'til it works out right
Chorus:
The shout of the King is among us
God lives here in our praises
The shout of the King is among us
Praise Him
Praise Him
Praise Him in everything
I give You praise for You deserve it
I give You praise for what You've done
I give You praise for You are able
I'll give You praise 'til I overcome
I give You praise when the sun is shining
I give You praise in the dark of night
I give You praise when the battle rages
I give You praise 'til it works out right
Repeat Chorus 2x
Heaven opens as we sing Your praise
Angels join us as we praise Your name
Heaven opens as we sing Your praise
Angels join us as we praise Your name
Repeat Chorus 2x
Praise Him (Praise Him)
Praise Him (Praise Him)
Praise Him (Praise Him)
Praise Him in everything (Praise Him in everything)

Meaning & Inspiration
Shout of the King centers on praise that continues through ease, darkness, and conflict. Its opening lines repeat the decision to honor God for his worth, his works, and his ability, while the chorus pictures divine presence among a praising congregation. The movement from private declaration to a gathered shout gives the song a clear corporate focus. Praise is presented not as a response limited to favorable circumstances, but as a steady confession while a battle is still unresolved.
The later image of heaven opening and angels joining the song expands that worship beyond the visible assembly. The language may recall the biblical call to bless the Lord at all times and to offer praise continually. Repeated commands to praise in everything reinforce endurance, gratitude, and confidence in God. Rather than dwelling on the struggle itself, the lyric keeps returning to the King who is present and worthy, making the song suited to congregational praise and declarations of trust.
