Gratitude / Worthy Of It All / You're Worthy Of My Praise

(album: A Very Maverick Christmas - 2021)

All my words fall short
I've got nothing new
How could I express all my gratitude
I could sing these songs
As I often do
But every song must end, and You never do

So I throw up my hands
And praise You again and again
'Cause all that I have is a hallelujah
Hallelujah
And I know it's not much
But I've nothing else fit for a King
Except for a heart singing hallelujah
Hallelujah

I've got one response
I've got just one move
With my arms stretched wide
I will worship You

So I throw up my hands
And praise You again and again
'Cause all that I have is a hallelujah
Hallelujah
And I know it's not much
I've nothing else fit for a King
Except for a heart singing hallelujah
Hallelujah

So come on my soul
Oh don't you get shy on me
Lift up your song
'Cause you've got a lion inside of those lungs
Get up and praise The Lord

Come on my soul
Oh don't you get shy on me
Lift up your song
'Cause you've got a lion inside of those lungs
Get up and praise The Lord

Come on my soul
Oh don't you get shy on me
Lift up your song
'Cause you've got a lion inside of those lungs
Get up and praise The Lord

So come on my soul
Oh don't you get shy on me
Lift up your song
'Cause you've got a lion inside of those lungs
Get up and praise The Lord

So I throw up my hands
And praise You again and again
'Cause all that I have is a hallelujah
Hallelujah
And I know it's not much
I've nothing else fit for my King
Except for a heart singing hallelujah
Hallelujah

(Hallelujah)
(Hallelujah)
(Hallelujah)
(Hallelujah)
(Hallelujah)

Listen I want to tell you something
Several years ago they did a neuroscience study that proved that gratitude and anxiety cannot exist in the brain at the same time
So right now we are in a season of joy and a season of celebration but I also know that so many are walking through hardships that feel like they just can't get over
I'm telling you right now: when you don't know what to do, Begin to worship
Do not let your worry be louder than your worship

When you don't know what to do, open your mouth and begin to praise Him
Open your mouth and begin to declare: He's good. Yes
You realise this has nothing to do with how you feel in the moment
Our God is not dependant on our feelings
Our God is who He is regardless of how we're feeling, oh yeah
He is always good

If you've got any anxiety in here, just open your mouth and begin to declare that He is good
Begin to declare that He is holy
Begin to declare that He is worthy
Worship might not change your circumstances but worship changes us
(It's more than a feeling)
(We worship You, God)
(You're worthy)

Oh, come on my soul
Oh don't you get shy on me
Lift up your song (Come on)
'Cause you've got a lion inside of those lungs
Get up and praise The Lord
(Just begin to declare His goodness)

So come on my soul
Oh don't you get shy on me
Lift up your song
'Cause you've got a lion inside of those lungs
Get up and praise The Lord
(Let the lion out)
(Let the lion out)
(Let the lion out)

Come on my soul
Oh don't you get shy on me
Lift up your song
'Cause you've got a lion inside of those lungs
Get up and praise The Lord

So come on my soul
Oh don't you get shy on me
Lift up your song
'Cause you've got a lion inside of those lungs
Get up and praise The Lord

You are worthy of it all
You are worthy of it all
For from You are all things
And to You are all things
You deserve the glory

You are worthy of it all
You are worthy of it all
For from You are all things
And to You are all things
You deserve the glory

You are worthy of it all
You are worthy of it all
For from You are all things
And to You are all things
You deserve the glory

You deserve the glory
You deserve the glory
You deserve the glory
You deserve the glory
You deserve the glory
You deserve the glory
You deserve the glory
You deserve the glory

I will give You all my worship
I will give You all my praise
You alone I long to worship
You alone are worthy of my praise

I will give You all my worship
I will give You all my praise
You alone I long to worship
You alone are worthy of my praise
