Meaning & Inspiration
I Will Praise You is a worship song of thanksgiving that moves between English and a repeated phrase in Igbo, with the Hebrew names Adonai and Elohim at its center. The English lines give praise "for everything that You are" and "for everything that You do," and the second verse states that God is the reason the singer lives.
The response to each name is the same: "I will praise You." That resolve returns in a long closing run, where the phrases "I love You Lord" and "For everything You've done" widen the thanks into affection. The central commitment matches Psalm 34:1 and Psalm 146:2, where the psalmist vows to praise the Lord for as long as life lasts, and the use of Adonai and Elohim recalls divine names found throughout the Old Testament. Built on repetition and call-and-response, the song gives a congregation an easy way to join in extended praise, and its tone stays warm and grateful from start to finish.
