Lyrics
Verse 1
It's time to praise the Lord,
oh, it's time to praise the Lord.
Oh don't you wait, it might be too late;
It's time to praise the Lord.
Verse 2
Let's magnify Him,
Worship and love Him.
He's worthy, so worthy (x2).
It's time to praise the Lord.
Vamp
No time to lose,
No time to waste.
Stand on your feet,
And give God; give him all the praise.

Meaning & Inspiration
"It's Time To Praise The Lord" is a short call-to-worship song built around urgency rather than reflection. The opening verse repeats its title as a direct instruction, adding a warning not to delay since waiting risks being too late, framing praise as something with a specific, present moment rather than an activity for whenever convenient. The second verse widens that instruction into three related actions, magnifying, worshipping, and loving God, before settling on a simple justification: God is worthy. The closing vamp intensifies the urgency further, insisting there is no time left to lose or waste and calling listeners to stand and give God full praise immediately. Structurally the song functions as a brief, energetic prompt rather than a developed composition, suited to opening or transitioning a live worship set by moving a congregation quickly from stillness into active praise.
