Verse 1


How should I pray Lord
Can trembling hands
Be lifted to You
If I feel hopeless
Can tired eyes look up
To Heaven


Pre-Chorus


So what if I'm torn
So what if I'm bruised
I know You're here with me


Chorus


Still I will praise
Still I will bless Your name
Still I will praise forever Lord
I will still praise You


Verse 2


I know You're constant
Your love for me outshines
My dark days
So when I'm anxious
I'll still bring all
My worship to You


Pre-Chorus (Repeat)

When fear resounds
You whisper peace

You calm my heart
I'll fix my eyes on You

Til You return with all I am
I'll fix my eyes on You
Your death Your life
What's Yours now mine
I'll fix my eyes on You oh

I will still praise You

Meaning & Inspiration

"Still I Will Praise" opens with an honest question about how to pray while hands tremble and eyes feel too tired to look upward, admitting hopelessness before offering any resolution. That vulnerable opening frames the song's central declaration as a choice made in spite of weakness rather than an absence of struggle.

Its pre-chorus names torn and bruised condition directly, refusing to hide difficulty behind the confidence of the chorus that follows, still choosing praise and blessing regardless of present circumstance. A later bridge shifts from general trust to a specific exchange, describing Christ's death and life as now belonging to the worshiper, tying ongoing praise to identification with that sacrifice.

Rooted in contemporary worship's testimony-driven style, the song functions as a declaration of persistent praise through fear, doubt, and anxiety, its closing tag repeating the promise to keep praising as a settled resolve rather than a passing feeling.
