where:
Sing praise in God’s holy place,
In the breadth of God’s might.
Sing praise in God’s shining space,
In its depth and its height.
Refrain:
Let ev’rything that breathes and sings and shouts praise the Lord.
Convene where the faithful meet,
Where we cast off our pride;
Commune in the sacred street
Where God’s dearest reside. [REFRAIN]
why:
We know that our Lord is great,
And commissions us all
To gather and celebrate,
And we honor the call. [REFRAIN]
Rejoice, for God sees our needs
When our souls are distressed;
Exult God’s splendid deeds
Will attend our request. [REFRAIN]
how:
Arise, make your timbrels ring
And your trumpets pierce through.
Employ every pipe and string;
Raise your voices anew. [REFRAIN]
Our melodies multiply,
Our petitions are wed;
Our purposes unify
For God’s mission ahead.. [REFRAIN]
