VERSE 1:
I was lost and I was bound up
Hell is where I would have wound up
I couldn’t find my way around, but
He came and rescued me, He set me free
A special delivery from my G.O.D.
He took me out of a life of sinning, gave me a new beginning
And since I’m stickin’ with Him, I’ll keep on winning
Gonna shout His name louder
I couldn’t be prouder of the One that I’m livin’ for
People are watchin’ and people are talkin’
About what I’m doin’ and what I’m pursuin’
I’m givin’ the glory to God, It’s not a facade
I’m givin’ Him everything
Gonna lift Him up even more than I did before
‘Cuz He’s my Lord, that’s what I praise Him for

CHORUS:
Everybody praise the Lord, that’s what we’re here for
So lift your hands up
Wave ‘em side to side; God is here tonight
And we’re gonna praise the Lord with everything inside
We’re here to lift His name. We’ll never be the same
So lift your hands up
Wave ‘em side to side; God is here tonight
And we’re gonna praise the Lord with everything inside

VERSE 2:
I stand up for what I believe in and I
I strive to live a life that’s free from sin
I’m gonna keep on runnin’, gonna keep on shunnin’ the devil
And all distractions and diversions he brings to eye level
Ain’t nothin’ gonna stop me now, My God’ll show me how
He’ll even help me if I fall down
I just hope through everything I say
That just maybe you will see He’s the only way

BRIDGE:
I'm gonna stand up, gonna always keep my hands up
Givin' glory to the place that it's due
I'm gonna shout out, gonna live my life out loud now
Let you know He'll do the same thing for you
