We Must Praise
James Moss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I would use my cymbal
If I were a writer,
I would use a pencil
I would use my voice,
If I were a singer
No matter who or what we are,
We must praise
If I was a doctor,
I would use my research
A prolific dissertation,
If I was a speaker
I would use my hands,
If I were a potter
No matter who or what we are,
We must praise
Let the people of God bless Him
Let it ring with love and truth
With our gifts we exalt Thee
Merciful, wonderful God
We must praise
If I were an eagle, I would use my wings
Since I'm a believer, I use everything
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord
All ye people
No matter who or what we are,
We must praise
Let the people of God bless Him
Let it ring with love and truth
With our gifts we exalt Thee
We must praise
Praise His Holy, Holy name [x5]
With our gifts we exalt Thee
Merciful wonderful God
Oh Hallelujah, oh glory, oh holy of holies
Oh Bread of life God, oh meat of hunger Lord
Water of thirst Lord, we magnify you
We thank You for what You've done God
What You're doing God and what You're gonna do
No matter who or what we are,
We must praise
The song "We Must Praise" by James Moss is a powerful ode to the act of praising God. The opening verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, as Moss speaks of how people from all walks of life can use their talents to worship God. He mentions being a drummer and using his cymbal, a writer using a pencil, and a singer using their voice. Through this imagery, Moss conveys the idea that everyone has their own unique way of praising God and should use their gifts to do so, no matter who or what they are.
The song continues to explore this theme by presenting various other scenarios, such as being a doctor and using research, a speaker using their hands, or a potter using their skills. Each verse reinforces the message that regardless of what one's particular calling or profession may be, it is important to use it to praise God. The chorus features the repeated refrain "We must praise," driving home the central message of the song.
The bridge of the song changes the tone slightly, focusing more explicitly on the act of blessing God. Moss passionately sings, "Let the people of God bless Him / Let it ring with love and truth / With our gifts we exalt Thee / Merciful, wonderful God." The final moments of the song escalate into a celebratory and almost cathartic moment of worship, repeating "Praise His Holy, Holy name" alongside exclamations of "Hallelujah" and "glory."
Overall, "We Must Praise" is a powerful and universal call to worship God in all aspects of life. The song encourages listeners to use their unique skills and talents to glorify God, reminding us that worship can take many forms and is not limited to traditional religious practices.
