“STOP & GIVE PRAISE”

VERSE 1

SOME ARE UNDER THE ASSUMPTION THAT THEY DON’T NEED GOD FOR THEIR DAILY FUNCTION

THE BIGGEST BOSS WHOSE TIME CLOCK THAT WE ARE PUNCHING

WHILE MOST CLOCK OUT AT 8 HOURS I WORK OVER 9

BECAUSE ON HIS SHIFT I DON’T MIND WORKING OVERTIME

AND I’M CONTENT TO THE FULLEST EXTENT FOR WHAT IT PAYS

EVERYTIME I GIVE PRAISE HE GIVES ME ANOTHER RAISE

THAT’S THE KEY TO GLORIFY HIM FOR HE DESERVES IT

AND I KNOW HE’S WORTH IT FOR IT’S ONLY HE WHO’S PERFECT

BUT FIRST GET FAMILIAR WITH THE FACT THAT HE’S AMAZING

FOR ALL HE’S DONE IT SHOULD BE EASY FOR YOU TO PRAISE HIM

JUST THANK HIM WHEN YOU AWAKE AND OPEN YOUR EYES

IT’S NO SURPRISE THAT MAN’S DEMISE IS THEY DON’T RECOGNIZE

WHO’S RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR EARTHLY EXISTENCE

THE SAME GOD WHO CAN TAKE AWAY LIFE JUST IN AN INSTANCE

OR ANY MOMENT, HIS COMPASSION HE’S ALWAYS SHOWN IT

AND IF YOUR LIFE IS EMPTY HE’S THE MISSING COMPONENT

AND I CONDONE IT FOR I THINK HE DISTINCTLY

PUTS OBSTACLES IN OUR LIFE WHENEVER WE THINK WE

DON’T NEED TO THANK HIM BY TAKING HIM FOR GRANTITE

I CAN’T UNDERSTAND IT BECAUSE PRAISING HIM IS DEMANDED

AND THAT’S A FACT WITHOUT ACKNOWLEDGING HIM I’M STRESSING

DON’T BE EXPECTING ANY BLESSING UNTIL YOU LEARN THIS LESSON

THERE IS NO QUESTION GOD LOVES RECEIVING CREDIT

JUST LET IT BE A PART OF YOUR DAILY JOB THAT’S EXPECTED

AND EACH MORNING YOU WAKE JUST TAKE A MOMENT TO THANK

GOD FOR GIVING YOU LIFE AND YOUR MIND STATE

FOR THERE ARE SOME THAT ARE NOT AS FORTUNATE

WITH BAD HEALTH AND THINGS THAT YOU HAVE THEY CAN’T AFFORD TO GET

AND THEY WOULD TAKE YOUR POSITION ANY DAY

WHILE THEY PRAY FOR MIRACLES YOU DON’T TAKE THE TIME TO SAY

THANKS BUT YET IN STILL WISH FOR BETTER DAYS

BUT FIRST YOU NEED TO STOP AND GIVE THE LORD PRAISE

CHORUS (SAMPLE VOCAL, “PEOPLE WALK AROUND WITH THEIR MINDS IN A DAZE,

NEVER TAKE THE TIME TO STOP AND GIVE PRAISE”)

REPEAT 3 X’S

VERSE 2

I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY IT’S SO HARD TO HONOR GOD

I’VE SEEN MORE RESPECT FOR A BOSS AT A JOB

THEY CONTINUE THEIR DAILY LIVES NOT EVEN SHOWING

AS IF NOT KNOWING FROM WHOM ALL THEIR BLESSINGS ARE FLOWING

SHOW HIM THAT YOU REALLY NEED HIM BELIEVE IN HIS BLESSINGS, BUT

CONTINUE TO PRAISE HIM EVEN BEFORE YOU RECEIVE THEM

IT’S NOT JUST WHAT HE DID IT’S ABOUT WHO HE IS

ANY ONE CAN LOVE YOU BUT THERE’S NO LOVE LIKE HIS

YOU’VE GOT TO UNDERSTAND THAT FOR THE MAN THAT

WHO LAID DOWN HIS FOR YOU ACTUALLY PLANNED THAT

HIS LOVE’S UNCONDITIONAL NOT TO MENTION THOUGH

BEFORE YOUR FIRST SIN HE ALREADY MADE THIS DECISION SO

HOW CAN YOU REPAY SOMEONE WHO EXISTED FIRST

BEFORE THE PLANET EARTH, WHO HELPED CREATE THE WHOLE UNIVERSE

THERE’S NO MATERIAL ITEM THAT YOU CAN GIVE HIM OR SEND HIM

BUT YOUR LACK OF PRAISE FOR HIM IS ENOUGH TO OFFEND HIM

CAUSE ALL HE WANTS FROM YOU IS THAT HE WANTS YOU TO

GIVE HIM PRAISE WITHOUT ACTING LIKE IT’S TOO MUCH FOR YOU

CAUSE ON THE REAL HE’S WORTH MORE THAN THAT

FOR THE FACT I’M SAVED AND I ADORE THE FACT

THAT HE GAVE UP HIS LIFE FOR ME, WAS SACRAFICED FOR ME

PAID SIN’S PRICE FOR ME, ENDURED STRIFE FOR ME

WE’VE ALL HEARD IT, ANSWERS I TRIED TO SEARCH IT

WHY WOULD HE DIE FOR SOMEONE WHO DID NOT DESERVE IT

PERFECT IS HIS WILL AND THE BIBLE DESCRIBED IT

AS DYING WILLINGLY, NOT TRYING TO FIGHT IT

SO NOW, THE QUESTION IS WHAT REALLY REPAYS

CHRIST FOR WHAT HE DID, I’LL TELL YOU THE ANSWER’S PRAISE

SO JUST DENY YOUR DOUBT AND TAKE TIME OUT

TO ACKNOWLEDGE HIM WITH PRAISE AND YOU WILL FIND OUT

YOU’LL BE AMAZED HOW YOU BLESSINGS WILL RAISE

BUT FIRST YOU NEED TO STOP AND GIVE THE LORD PRAISE

CHORUS (SAMPLE VOCAL, “PEOPLE WALK AROUND WITH THEIR MINDS IN A DAZE,

NEVER TAKE THE TIME TO STOP AND GIVE PRAISE”)

REPEAT OUT
