G
When you're up against a struggle
C
That shatters all your dreams
G
Your hope's been cruelly crushed
C
By Satan's manifested scheme
Em
And you feel the urge within you
C
To submit to earthly fears
      G
Don't let the faith your standing in
C             Am
Seem to disappear

[Chorus]
            C
Praise the Lord
        Am
He can work through those who praise Him
            G
Praise the Lord
         Em
For our God inhabits praise
           Am
Praise the Lord
          C                   D
For the chains that seem to bind you
       Am          D
Serve only to remind you
                C             D
That they drop powerless behind you
         C       G                 C     D
When you praise Him



[Verse 2]
    G
Now Satan is a liar
       C
And he wants to make us think
            G
That we are paupers when he knows himself
       C
We're children of the King
        Em
So lift up the mighty shield of faith
         C
For the battle must be won
              G
We know that Jesus Christ is risen
        C              Am
So the works already done



[Chorus]
            C
Praise the Lord
        Am
He can work through those who praise Him
            G
Praise the Lord
         Em
For our God inhabits praise
           Am
Praise the Lord
          C                   D
For the chains that seem to bind you
       Am          D
Serve only to remind you
                C             D
That they drop powerless behind you
         C       G                 C     D
When you praise Him
