I will praise you with my darkness,
you have called me to this place,
I will praise you when your hidden
because it calls to my faith
I will praise you in the morning
I’ll praise you in the eve
with empty hands surrender
and follow with crippled feet
I’ll lift my voice to worship
Through a whisper, call you King,
Doing homage to the prince of peace, my doves and pennies I bring
Ill speak psalms and hymns through rain and with fear
ill seek you with my ignorance, and tears,
I will praise you in the sorrow
and with hardship I’ll sing,
I’ll honor you with heartaches
and hide beneath your wings,
i will praise you in the darkness
with grief and tears I’ll speak your name
i will bless you with my broken
and worship though I’m lame
i will call out with my wilderness with my deeply wounded soul
remembering your wellspring
your everlasting flow
with stiff and achy sadness i will bend my knee to pray
i will bow before your throne; shower me with grace
holy holy holy, i will confess
I’ll will pray in the name of Jesus
even with my nothing left
thou I’m ashes on your altar or light to all around
i will praise you with my fragile, whether mountain tops or on the ground.
you accept my offering my gifts of pain and joy the same
the one will bring you pleasure the other brings you fame
