Lyrics
With my hands lifted up
And my mouth filled with praise
With a heart of thanks giving
I will bless Thee, O Lord.
I will bless Thee, O Lord,
I will bless Thee, O Lord,
With a heart of thanks giving
I will bless Thee, O Lord.

True worship engages our entire being—our hands, our lips, and our hearts. When we lift our hands and fill our mouths with praise, we align our body and spirit to honor the God who loves us completely. Even in quiet or difficult seasons, choosing a heart of thanksgiving becomes a beautiful sacrifice of praise to the Lord. As you sing today, let your posture reflect the deep gratitude and reverence you carry for Jesus.
