Story Behind the Song
This medley combines two praise songs “We Lift Our Voice” and “Let All Who Hath Breath Praise the Lord.” Stories regarding each of these individual choruses can be found at this site under those titles. I began combining the two songs during our praise time at Calvary Chapel long before I came up with the arrangement that is presented here. The two songs just compliment each other and the congregation always praised God enthusiastically when they were played together.
“We Lift Our Voice” begins with soft acoustic guitars with recorders. The vocals sing a tender melody calling on believers to gather together to worship God for He is worthy. However, after two verses are sung, the song breaks into joyous praise that proclaims the worthiness of the Lord. After the final chorus declares “Worthy, worthy is the Lamb, Jesus” a light piano fades in, introducing the reflective melody of “Let All Who Hath Breath Praise the Lord.” This soothing song allows worshippers time to ponder the wonders of God while declaring “Jesus, I love you.”
We invite you to join us as we praise the Lord in these two songs. They have always provided a great addition to our worship life with God. We pray that they will do the same for you.
Lyrics
We Lift Our Voice
We lift our voice and fall to our knees in one accord,
To worship You together.
We lift our voice and fall to our knees in one accord,
To worship You together.
For Thou art Lord, our God and King,
You’re our Maker, our Savior, Redeemer.
For Thou art worthy to be praised.
Worthy, Worthy is the Lamb, Jesus.
Nails in Your hands, announcing Your sacrifice for us,
We worship You together.
Raised from the grave, proclaiming the victory given to us,
And You will reign forever.
For Thou art Lord, our God and King,
You’re our Maker, our Savior, Redeemer.
For Thou art worthy to be praised.
Worthy, Worthy is the Lamb, Jesus.
We glorify the Lord who redeemed us with His blood,
We worship Him together.
We lift our lives, to the Lord who has saved us with His love,
We will worship Christ forever.
For Thou art Lord, our God and King,
You’re our Maker, our Savior, Redeemer.
For Thou art worthy to be praised.
Worthy, Worthy is the Lamb, Jesus.
Let All Who Hath Breath Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord, let all who hath breath praise the Lord,
Till heaven abounds rejoicing,
O lift up your praise to the Lord.
Praise the Lord, let all who hath breath praise the Lord,
Till heaven abounds rejoicing,
O lift up your praise to the Lord.
Saying Jesus, Jesus
I love You, I love You.
Saying Jesus, Jesus
I love You, I love You.
Lift your hands, let all who hath breath lift your hands,
Till heaven abounds rejoicing,
O lift up your praise to the Lord.
Lift your hands, let all who hath breath lift your hands,
Till heaven abounds rejoicing,
O lift up your praise to the Lord.
Saying Jesus, Jesus,
I praise you, I praise You.
I Saying Jesus, Jesus,
I want you, I want you.
Saying Jesus, Jesus,
I need You, I need You.
Saying Jesus, Jesus,
I love You, I love You.
Praise the Lord, let all who hath breath praise the Lord,
Till heaven abounds rejoicing,
O lift up your praise to the Lord.
