When I Praise

(album: Found A Place - 2000)

Looking for love and I lost my way
Another long night has turned to day
Nobody likes to feel this way
So I draw close to you, it's what I'm supposed to do

Looking for love and I close my eyes
I run to You with no disguise
You hold me close and say "It's fine"
You take me in Your arms and You soothe this heart of mine

And I throw my hands up in the air
Here's my heart 'cause I don't care
What they say about me, I gotta praise
I throw my hands up in the air
And I know that You will find me there
Find me when I praise

Looking for love and I hide my face
(Looking for love and I hide my face)
What about the scars and disgrace
(Should I hide my disgrace)
But You meet me there in spite of my shame
Your blood covers it all and You carry me away

And I throw my hands up in the air
Here's my heart 'cause I don't care
What they say about me, I gotta praise
I throw my hands up in the air
And I know that You will find me there
Find me when I praise

My heart is on my sleeve and I am on my knees
And my hands are in the air, oh yeah
And it's hard to believe that I am on my knees
With my hands in the air, oh yeah

And You come close beside me
And You say You're here to guide me
I don't ever have to be alone
And Your love has led me home

Looking for love and I found my way
(Looking for love and I found my way)
I ran to You when I heard You say
(I ran to You when I heard You say)
Everything's gonna be okay
I don't have to wait another day

And I throw my hands up in the air
Here's my heart 'cause I don't care
What they say about me, I gotta praise
I throw my hands up in the air
And I know that You will find me there

My hands up in the air
Here's my heart 'cause I don't care
What they say about me, I gotta praise
My hands are in the air
And I know that You will find me there
Find me there
Find me when I praise

Looking for love and I lost my way
(Looking for love and I lost my way)
Another long night has turned to day
(Another long night has turned to day)
Nobody likes to feel this way
