What are we DOING with ourselves? When I wrote this song, I just felt like I was (like I’m sure many of us are) just running in place, wasting our time, spending our lives on meaningless things we wish we would have never taken the time for…Then realizing how much better it could be if we spent that time just being thankful, and praising God for the life we get to live…It was this thought that was running through my head when I was serving as on Outside Team Leader for another Walk to Emmaus, and I heard all of the parts of this song playing in my head at once…& I couldn’t write them down fast enough. Enjoy!

“Praising God” by Randall Everitt

‍

Why don’t we spend more time?

(praising God)

Think of all we could do. 

(praising God)

In the bad and the good times, 

(praising God)

Constantly go through life…

‍

Praising God      (for the life we live)

Praising God      (for the joy He gives)

Praising God      (let our voices ring)

Praising God      (as we shout and sing)!

‍

Praise God,

Praise God.

Praise God,

Praise God!

‍

Make a noise and be joyful 

(praising God)

Faithfully every day 

(praising God)

There’s no time to be doubtful 

(praising God)

Shout for joy, all the Earth…

‍

Praising God      (for the life we live)

Praising God      (for the joy He gives)

Praising God      (let our voices ring)

Praising God      (as we shout and sing)!

‍

Praise, praise, praise God,

praise, praise, praise God.

Praise, praise, praise God,

praise, praise, praise God.

‍

Praise, praise, praise God (praising God).

Praise, praise, praise God (praising God).

Praise, praise, praise God (praising God).

Praise, praise, praise God.

‍

Praise, praise, praise God (for the life we live).

(praising God).

Praise, praise, praise God (for the joy He gives). 

(praising God).

Praise, praise, praise God (Let our voices ring).

(praising God).

Praise, praise, praise God (as we shout and sing)!
