Together We Praise

"Together We Praise" was written to be a spirited call to worship. The lyric stresses unity within the Body of Christ as we come before our God to give Him praise and worship. No matter how different we may seem to be as individuals we are truly all parts of one Body. - Dave

Rhesa started this wonderful song. I worked on the melody some, but couldn't figure out where it was going. Dave heard it and knew where he was going. Finally I caught up with his vision and helped with the lyrics. If you get lost, it helps to know that "unity" is sung with four notes (as in "u-u-ni-ty"). - Elton, February 20, 2004


Lyrics

(Verse 1)
One body in Christ
We worship in love together
One Spirit in Christ
We lift up our hearts, we lift up our voices and sing
For You are worthy, You are our Lord, our Savior and King

(Chorus)
Together we praise
As we come before the throne of grace
Hand in hand in this holy place
In love and unity
Together we praise

(Verse 2)
One family in Christ
All children of one great Father
One purpose in Christ
We lay down our lives, we lift up our voices and sing
For You are worthy, You are our Lord, our Savior and King

(Repeat Chorus)
Together we praise
As we come before the throne of grace
Hand in hand in this holy place
In love and unity
Together we praise

(Bridge)
We worship You, we honor You, we give You our praise, Lord
We worship You, we honor You, we give You our praise, Lord
We worship You, we honor You, we give You our praise
One in hope, one in heart,
Hand in hand we worship You

(Instrumental for 8 measures)

(Reprise Bridge)
We worship You, we honor You, we give You our praise, Lord
We worship You, we honor You, we give You our praise, O Lord

(Repeat Chorus)
Together we praise
As we come before the throne of grace
Hand in hand in this holy place
In love and unity

Together we praise
As we come before the throne of grace
Hand in hand in this holy place
In love and unity
In love and unity
In love and unity
Together we praise
