UNTO YOU OH LORD I BRING MY PRAISE
Composed by Z. A. Ogunsanya Date: 3/3/2017.
Refrain: Unto You oh Lord I bring my praise
You are worthy to be glorified
There is no king anywhere like You
This is why all creatures praise You Lord
- At the time You were creating the world
Holy angels were singing Your praise
Every-time they never stop to sing
Singing and worshipping You oh Lord. -
Heaven is always full of singing
Holy, holy songs of the angels
That they sing to praise Your holy name
There is no lord anywhere like You. -
The saints of old sang psalms unto You
Moses, David, also Solomon
Miriam, Deborah, also Mary
And many others who praised Your name. -
As bad as the world may be today
Your praises are still sung everywhere
Anyone who will not praise Your name
Is surely less than an animal. -
In your churches everywhere today
Singing praises is a major work
Both for aged and also the youth
Children also sing Your praises Lord. -
In the deep waters of the oceans
And also very high in the sky
And in all the forests of the earth
The songs of creatures praise You oh Lord. -
Man may not know what they are singing
All the trees and every other plant
As they wave their branches and their leaves
But for sure it is to praise You Lord. -
Thank You Lord for giving me a mouth
I am using to sing unto You
Praising You creates deep joy in my heart
Forever I will sing unto You. -
Count me worthy to be among them
The saints that will praise You in heaven
When they sing their special songs to You
The songs angels cannot join to sing.
