Lyrics

Oh oh oh oh oh
Every tribe and every tongue
Soon you eyes will see His kingdom come
So gather 'round in one accord
Lift your hands up and praise the Lord
Oh oh oh oh oh
Let's just praise the Lord
Oh oh oh oh oh
Come on praise the Lord
Oh oh oh oh oh
Let's just praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
Oh oh oh oh oh
From the walls of Jerusalem
To the winding hills of Tennessee
With one voice let's worship Him
The God of all and Zion's King of Kings
Oh oh oh oh oh
Let's just praise the Lord
Oh oh oh oh oh
Come on praise the Lord
Oh oh oh oh oh
Let's just praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
(Every tribe) Praise Him
(Every tongue) Praise Him
(Lift your hands) Hallelujah (Everyone)
(Every tribe) Praise Him
(Every tongue) Praise Him
(Lift your hands) Hallelujah (Everyone)
Oh oh oh oh oh
Let's just praise the Lord
Oh oh oh oh oh
Come on praise the Lord
Oh oh oh oh oh
Let's just praise the Lord
Come on praise the Lord
Oh oh oh oh oh
Praise Him

Meaning & Inspiration

Praise the Lord is a communal call to worship that reaches across geography and culture. Its opening vision of every tribe and tongue anticipates God’s kingdom and gathers many voices into one act of praise. References to Jerusalem, Tennessee, Zion, and the King of Kings connect a particular setting with a worldwide confession. The song’s repeated invitation to lift hands and praise makes worship both vocal and embodied, while the recurring word “hallelujah” keeps attention fixed on God.

The lyric closely echoes Revelation’s picture of a multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language standing before God. It also reflects psalms that call worshipers to lift their hands and bless the Lord. Rather than emphasizing individual experience, the song portrays praise as shared allegiance to the one King. Its simple repeated phrases suit that purpose: they allow distinct communities to join the same declaration. The result is a celebratory vision of unity formed around God’s reign, with Zion’s King receiving praise from every place and people.
