Joe Praize - I give You all the praise Lyrics
Lyrics
Million words to say So many things to do For the blessings all around me I give You all the praise Million words to say So many things to do For the blessings all around me I give You all the praise
In my going out Your goodness all about me I testify Your mercy I give You all the praise
I give You all the praise all the praise, all the praise. I give You all the praise all the praise, all the praise. I give You all the praise all the praise, all the praise.
As the deer pants for water My soul longs for You In the morning, in the night time I give You all the praise. In everything I say, In everything I do, Let Your glory be revealed, As I give You all the praise. Sweet, sweet holy praise. In this congregation As we lift our voice in worship And give You all the praise
I give You all the praise all the praise, all the praise. I give You all the praise all the praise, all the praise. I give You all the praise all the praise, all the praise.
Yes I give You all the praise, all the praise. Yes I give You all the praise, all the praise. You deserve all the praise, all the praise. You deserve my praise all the praise, all the praise. all the praise, all the praise. Yes I give You all the praise, all the praise. Yes I give You all the praise, all the praise. You deserve You deserve my praise
I lift my hands in adoration You are so beautiful

ALL THE PRAISE - JOE PRAISE
Meaning & Inspiration
On May 5, 2013, Joe Praize delivered "I Give You All The Praise," a compelling anthem that immediately resonated with a profound spiritual hunger and the simple yet powerful act of worship. The song swiftly positions itself not just as a musical offering, but as a direct, unvarnished declaration of devotion, underscoring the artist's foundational commitment to glorifying the divine.
The narrative woven through the lyrics is one of overwhelming gratitude, stemming from a life enveloped in divine blessings. It conveys a deep realization that despite "million words to say" or "so many things to do," the most fitting response to God's omnipresent goodness is unreserved adoration. This isn't a casual acknowledgment, but an emphatic testimony to divine care in every moment, from "going out" to the quiet hours of the "night time." The repetition of the central phrase isn't mere emphasis; it mirrors the ceaseless nature of praise that the songwriter advocates, suggesting an ingrained posture of the heart that finds its ultimate expression in worship. It speaks to a conscious decision to recognize God's hand in every circumstance, a choice to see His "goodness all about me" and to "testify Your mercy," making praise an active, continuous lifestyle rather than an occasional act.
Analyzing the lyrical depth reveals a carefully constructed expression of spiritual truth, deeply rooted in scriptural principles. The opening lines, "Million words to say / So many things to do / For the blessings all around me / I give You all the praise," immediately echo sentiments found in Psalm 40:5, where King David marvels at God's countless wonders that are "too many to count." This establishes a theme of an inexhaustible well of divine favor, demanding an equally inexhaustible response of praise. The progression to "In my going out / Your goodness all about me / I testify Your mercy" beautifully illustrates the protective and sustaining presence of God in daily life, aligning with promises like those in Deuteronomy 28:6, which declares blessings upon both our coming in and going out. It also brings to mind the refreshing mercies described in Lamentations 3:22-23, which are "new every morning," forming the bedrock of constant thanksgiving.
The song’s profound spiritual longing is most strikingly captured in the evocative line, "As the deer pants for water / My soul longs for You." This is a direct and powerful allusion to Psalm 42:1, a timeless expression of desperate spiritual thirst for God. It moves the declaration of praise beyond intellectual assent into the realm of deep, innate yearning, confirming that this worship is born from a fundamental need and desire for the Creator. This longing translates into perpetual praise, as articulated: "In the morning, in the night time / I give You all the praise," reflecting the timeless call in Psalm 113:3 to praise the Lord "from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets," and the New Testament instruction in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 to "give thanks in all circumstances."
Furthermore, the song expands the individual act of worship to a collective aspiration: "In everything I say, / In everything I do, / Let Your glory be revealed, / As I give You all the praise." This transforms personal devotion into a mission, seeking to manifest God’s glory through one's entire being, a principle strongly advocated in Colossians 3:17, which advises doing "everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him," and 1 Corinthians 10:31, which urges us to "do it all for the glory of God." The subsequent mention of "this congregation / As we lift our voice in worship" broadens the scope to communal praise, reinforcing the scriptural call for believers to gather and worship, as seen in Psalm 107:32 and Hebrews 10:25. The emphatic affirmation, "You deserve all the praise," along with the physical act of "lifting my hands in adoration," ties back to the inherent worthiness of God as described in Revelation 4:11, where heavenly beings declare Him worthy of "glory and honor and power," and Psalm 63:4, where the psalmist vows to "lift up my hands in your name." "I Give You All The Praise" by Joe Praize stands as a powerful testament to a life lived in conscious recognition of divine favor, encouraging everyone to make praise not just a song, but the very heartbeat of their existence, continually acknowledging God’s supreme worthiness and beauty.
