Lyrics
Verse 1
I remember when a long lost sinner
Met a good, good God
I remember when my heart was broken
But now it’s not
Pre-Chorus
I’ve tasted and I’ve seen
You’ve been so good to me
From the moment that You changed my life God
You never stopped
Chorus
I’m gonna sing it
I’m gonna shout it
I’m gonna lift my hands and praise
No matter what is gonna come my way
All You’ve done for me
I give You the glory
From the valley to the victory
I know my God is gonna fight for me
So when the devil come try to get me
Gonna praise the Lord
When the devil come try to get me
Gonna praise the Lord
Verse 2
From the moment when the sun starts rising
Till the sun goes down (sun goes down)
I’m surrounded by a million mercies
I can feel them now
Pre-Chorus 2
I’ve tasted and I’ve seen
You’ve been so good to me
Got a melody inside my heart oh
Here’s a sweet, sweet sound
Chorus (Repeat)
Bridge
In every high
In every low
My hope is found in Christ alone
And here on earth when I get home
My hope is found in Christ alone
Outro
And I’m gonna sing it
Come praise the Lord
Come praise the Lord
Come praise the Lord
Come praise the Lord
I’m gonna sing it (come praise the Lord)
I’m gonna shout it (come praise the Lord)
I’m gonna lift my hands and praise
No matter what is gonna come my way
All You’ve done for me (come praise the Lord)
I give You the glory (come praise the Lord)
From the valley to the victory
I know my God is gonna fight for me
So when the devil come try to get me
Gonna praise the Lord
When the devil come try to get me
Gonna praise the Lord
So when the devil come try to get me
Gonna praise the Lord
When the devil come try to get me
Gonna praise the Lord

Meaning & Inspiration
Praise the Lord frames praise as a steady response to God’s mercy, whether life feels like a valley or a victory. The opening testimony contrasts a former life of sin and brokenness with the change attributed to God. From there, the song turns gratitude into action through singing, shouting, lifted hands, and giving glory. Its repeated resolve to praise amid spiritual opposition makes worship an expression of confidence rather than a reaction limited to easy circumstances.
The language of tasting and seeing God’s goodness closely echoes the Psalms, while the movement from sunrise to sunset recalls the call for the Lord’s name to be praised throughout the day. The declaration that hope is found in Christ alone gives the song a clear center. Together, these images present praise as remembrance: God’s past mercy supports present trust, and confidence in divine help carries the singer through both hardship and triumph.
