Lyrics
Verse 1
Send the storm, send the rain,
another trial laced in pain.
I've seen joy I've seen tears,
had a little doubt, and I've walked in fear.
I've been deceived so many times,
You gave me peace, You even kept my mind;
You're worthy to be praised
Chorus 1
Lord, I'm so grateful for all You've done;
You opened blinded eyes that I might see the light,
all the things that were wrong,
You came along and made them right;
You've been faithful.
Verse 2
I've given out, I've given in,
but by Your power I still win.
There are people running scared of what they see,
trying to find their way out of misery.
Rumors of wars threaten our land,
but I know You've got it all in the palm of Your hand;
You're worthy to be praised.
Chorus 2
Lord, I'm so grateful for all You've done;
You made a way when I thought there was no way,
shined Your light on my life and right now I can say,
You've been faithful.
Vamp
That's why I praise You (3x),
You're worthy to be praised

Meaning & Inspiration
The song frames praise as a response to God’s faithfulness through pain, fear, and uncertainty. The opening verse names storms, tears, doubt, and deception without minimizing them. Against that backdrop, the lyric recalls peace, preserved sanity, and sight restored by divine help. Praise therefore arises from remembrance rather than from the absence of hardship.
The second verse broadens the perspective from personal trial to a world marked by fear, misery, and rumors of war. Its answer is confidence that all remains in God’s hand. The song’s images of light and opened eyes also recall biblical language about spiritual sight. By the time the vamp repeats its reason for praise, the message is clear: God’s past faithfulness supports present thanksgiving and confidence amid ongoing trials.
