Worship Songs

Raise A Hallelujah


Verse 1

I raise a hallelujah in the presence of my enemies

I raise a hallelujah louder than the unbelief

I raise a hallelujah my weapon is a melody

I raise a hallelujah Heaven comes to fight for me


Chorus

I’m gonna sing in the middle of the storm

Louder and louder you’re gonna hear my praises roar

Up from the ashes hope will arise

Death is defeated the King is alive


Verse 2

I raise a hallelujah with everything inside of me

I raise a hallelujah I will watch the darkness flee

I raise a hallelujah in the middle of the mystery

I raise a hallelujah fear you lost your hold on me


Bridge

Sing a little louder (Sing a little louder)

Sing a little louder (Sing a little louder)

Sing a little louder (Sing a little louder)

Sing a little louder (Sing a little louder)


Bridge

Sing a little louder in the presence of my enemies

Sing a little louder louder than the unbelief

Sing a little louder my weapon is a melody

Sing a little louder Heaven comes to fight for me

(REPEAT)

Sing a little louder


Ending

I raise a hallelujah

Great Things (Worth It All)


Verse 1

Thank You for the wilderness

Where I learned to thirst for Your presence

If I'd never known that place

How could I have known You were better


Verse 2

Thank You for the lonely times

When I learned to live in the silence

As the other voices fade

I can hear You calling me Jesus


Pre-Chorus

And it's worth it all just to know You more


Chorus 1

You have done great things

Jesus Your love never fails me

My soul will sing

You have done great things


Verse 3

Thank You for the scars I bear

They declare that You are my healer

How could I have seen Your strength

If You'd never shown me my weakness


Chorus 2

You have done great things

In weakness You are my victory

My soul will sing

You have done great things


Bridge

Through the fire and the flood

You will never let me go

And my soul will sing

You have done great things

I am weak You are strong

You will always be my hope

And my soul will sing

You have done great things

(REPEAT)
