In “That’s Who I Praise,” contemporary Christian artist Brandon Lake sings about different biblical characters who personally experienced God at work and responded with praise to Him. This makes sense because praise responds to who God is and what He does in our lives. As we learn from His Word and experience the truth of His character and promises in our lives, God personally reveals who He is and His power at work. Praise is how we honor and celebrate Him for who He is and what He does for us.
As you listen to this song, be inspired by the scriptural testimonies of people who saw our powerful and loving God at work in their lives, and be reminded that you have your own testimonies of God revealing Himself to you and working on your behalf, too. And that means you can bring your own response of praise and thanksgiving to God. So, remember who you praise today, and praise Him with all your might.
Psalm 103:1-2 (NLT): “Let all that I am praise the Lord; with my whole heart, I will praise His holy name. Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me.”
Lyrics
I wanna dance like David I wanna faith like Paul I wanna sing like Silas tearing down the prison walls I wanna face that fire It won’t burn me though God’s got my back Shadrach Meshach Abednego
I wanna walk like Moses Right through the waves One day I’ll see that promise land, no longer slaves Though the fear is talkin’, no it can’t take out my faith
I’m gonna praise I’m gonna praise I praise the mountain movin’ body raising breaker of chains Gonna praise I’m gonna praise I praise the heaven seated undefeated highest of names That’s who I praise (Hey) That’s who I praise That’s who I praise
I wanna gift like Mary I wanna break my vase I wanna sleep like Daniel even in a lion’s cave I’m gonna get that promise Just like Jericho Yea I know what’ll make it fall
I’m gonna praise I’m gonna praise I praise the mountain movin’ body raising breaker of chains Gonna praise I’m gonna praise I praise the heaven seated undefeated highest of names That’s who I praise Hey I praise the God who’s proven He can do impossible things That’s who I praise Hey That’s who I praise That’s who I praise
He is the lion of Judah He is the lamb that was slain The only One who’s worthy Worthy Worthy of all of His names That’s who I praise He is the risen Messiah He is the ancient of days The only One who’s worthy Worthy Worthy of all of His names That’s who I praise
So I’m gonna praise I praise the mountain movin’ body raising breaker of chains Gonna praise I’m gonna praise I praise the heaven seated undefeated highest of names That’s who I praise Hey I praise the God who’s proven He can do impossible things That’s who I praise Hey That’s who I praise That’s who I praise
That’s who I praise That’s who I praise
I wanna love like Jesus That kinda grace I wanna live like I’ve got no more precious time to waste I’m gonna give Him glory With all my thanks ‘Cause there’s no greater, stronger higher name and That’s who I praise
