I Will Give You Praise
Praise Africa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

As long as there is air to breathe
As long as there is life in me
While the river runs into the sea
I will give you praise
While the rain drops from the sky
And the sunlight beams down from on high
While the lion roars and birds can fly
I will give you praise

From the rising of the sun
To the setting of the same
Lord I′ll lift my voice
I'll sing praises to your name
King of glory
I′ll worship you endlessly
For that's what you've created me to be

As long as there is air to breathe
As long as there is life in me
While the river runs into the sea
I will give you praise
While the rain drops from the sky
And the sunlight beams down from on high
While the lion roars and birds can fly
I will give you praise

From the rising of the sun
To the setting of the same
Lord I′ll lift my voice
I′ll sing praises to your name
King of glory
I'll worship you endlessly
For that′s what you've created me to be

As long as there is air to breathe
As long as there is life in me
While the river runs into the sea
I will give you praise
And though my days on earth will pass
My praise in you will always last
For however long forever lasts
I will give you praise

From the rising of the sun
To the setting of the same
Lord I′ll lift my voice
I'll sing praises to your name
King of glory
I′ll worship you endlessly
For that's what you've created me to be




For that′s what you′ve created me to be
For that's what you′ve created me to be
