Praise the King
Cindy Morgan Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Praise Him in the morning
For tall and lofty trees
And praise Him in the evening
For children on their knees
Oh and praise Him in the noon day
For gentle birds that sing
Oh praise Him all ye people
Praise the King

And praise Him for a peaceful porch
And rocking chairs that sway
Praise Him for the rolling hills
Where children laugh and play
Oh and praise Him for the wandering soul
That never lost their way
Oh praise Him all ye people
Praise the King

Praise the King
Praise the King
Let it ring
Praise the King
Praise the King
Praise the King
Let it ring
Praise the King

And praise Him for the blood that fell
And bloomed a rose that day
And praise Him that He suffered through the guilt, the grief, the shame
Oh and praise Him that His tender love will still forgive today
Oh praise Him all ye people praise the King

Praise the King
Praise the King
Let it ring
Praise the King
Praise the King
Praise the King
Let it ring
Praise the King

"And He Led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them
Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven




And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy
And were continually in the temple praise and blessing God. Amen."
