Music: BLESS THE LORD – Wole Awolola

ABOUT THE SONG 

To be praised
Bless the Lord
I will enter his gates with thanksgiving
I will bless the Lord
And I’ll come into his courts with praise
I will bless him at all times
Magnify the Lord with me
Let us exalt his name together
I will bless the Lord always

Verse 1
Father to the fatherless
Defender of the widow
A present help in times of storm
My heart will not faint
In him I place my hope, my trust
He’s never let me down
A solid rock that never fails
The Lord God most high

Chorus
I will bless the Lord
With a song and dance I will
I will bless the Lord
Making melody in my heart to him
I will bless the Lord, bless him at all times
I’ll give glory to his name
Because he’s worthy to be Praised

To be praised
Bless the Lord
I will enter his gates with thanksgiving
I will bless the Lord
And I’ll come into his courts with praise
I will bless him at all times
Magnify the Lord with me
Let us exalt his name together
I will bless the Lord always

Verse 2
He gives joy everlasting
My soul is satisfied
The broken pieces of my life He’s made whole again
You are more than enough
You supply my every need
Saviour more than life to me
I’ll never let you go

Chorus
I will bless the Lord
With a song and dance I will
I will bless the Lord
Making melody in my heart to him
I will bless the Lord, bless him at all times
I’ll give glory to his name
Because he’s worthy to be Praised
To be praised
Bless the Lord

I will enter in with thanksgiving
I will bless the Lord
And then I’ll come into his courts with praise
I will bless him at all times
Magnify the Lord with me
Let us exalt his name together
I will bless the Lord always

Bridge
He’s my healer, provider, strong tower and my deliverer
He’s the well that never runs dry, chief cornerstone
Sacrificial lamb, he paid the price
Lion of Judah, oh yes he’s coming back
Every tongue will confess thathe is Lord

Outro

Chorus
I will bless the Lord, I will bless his name
I will bless the Lord, I will bless his name
I will bless the Lord, bless him at all times
I’ll give glory to his name
I will bless the Lord, I will bless his name
I will bless the Lord, I will bless his name
I will bless the Lord, bless him at all times
Magnify the Lord with me
Let us exalt his name together
I will bless the Lord always
