I Give You Praise
Darwin Hobbs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You, are all I need
and where You lead me, I will follow,
and, with all my heart,
I give You praise.
For life, for health and strength,
for giving peace, in midst of sorrow,
I, will lift my voice, and give You praise.
Your love, that's sent from above
has changed my night, into a thousand rainbows.
And through, Your love I've found more strength,
than I've ever known.

You are, my dwelling place,
And where you lead me, I will follow
And through the cold, and through the storm, I will give you praise

Lord, You are, my dwelling place,
my present, help




and for, these things I give, You praise;
for this I give You praise.

Você é tudo que eu preciso
e onde você me guiar, eu seguirei
e com todo meu coração
Eu te louvo.
Para a vida, para saúde e força,
por dar paz, em meio a tristeza,
Eu levantarei a minha voz e te louvarei.

Seu amor, que é enviado de cima
mudou minha noite, em mil arco-íris.
E através do seu amor eu encontrei mais força,
do que eu já conheci.

Você é minha morada
E onde você me leva, eu vou seguir
E através do frio, e através da tempestade, eu vou te elogiar

Refrão:
Senhor, tu és a minha morada
meu presente, ajuda
e para estas coisas eu te louvo;
por isso te dou louvor.
