Lyrics
There is no place where You're not there
I'll never drift from Your love and care
There's not a thing about me that You don't know
The winds of the morning will take me to You
The blackes of night Your love will shine through
You are already there no matter where I may go
Even before I get to Thee
Your loving eyes will looking at me
Your even closer than the breathe that I take
Mother and father more than a friend to me
Beginning an ending and living of life to me
The song I find myself singing when I awake
So I will praise You
Lord, I praise You, now I praise You
For bearing me up and giving me wings
For lifting my sights to heavenly things
For being a song I can't help but sing
Praise You
Look at me Lord, I'm open to You
Do anything that You wanna do
You know me even better than I know myself
I'll not be afraid of what You can see
'Coz you know the person inside of me
I won't even tried to hide what You know so well
Lord just be patient with my mistakes
I wanna be Yours whatever it takes
I've learned a life without You is no life at all
Failures and talents, schemes I bring to You
Aspirations and dreams I sing to You
I'll just be here, ready, wherever You call
So I will praise You
Lord, I praise You, now I praise You
For bearing me up and giving me wings
For lifting my sights to heavenly things
For being a song I can't help but sing
Praise You
Praise You
Praise You

Meaning & Inspiration
The Collingsworth Family’s Praise You presents God as both completely knowing and constantly present. The opening verses describe a love that remains near through morning, darkness, distance, and personal weakness. That language closely recalls the biblical confession that no place lies beyond God’s presence and that every detail of a life is already known to him.
The chorus answers such care with praise, thanking the Lord for support, renewed vision, and a song that rises naturally from gratitude. Later verses become a prayer of openness: failures, abilities, plans, and dreams are all offered to God without concealment. The singer does not claim perfection, but asks for patience while expressing readiness to belong to God and answer his call. Praise therefore grows from being fully known and still lovingly sustained, while surrender becomes the fitting response to divine care.
