A Thousand Hallelujahs

I often find myself writing worship songs from an emotional perspective. Frequently in the writing process, I’ll reflect on my most awe inspiring moments of corporate worship and try to write something that may somehow draw others to that same place. That was the case with this song… I remember sitting downstairs one Fall evening with my guitar. An idea had been tugging at me for a few days and I decided to try to hammer it out. To this day, I have no clue what that idea was-something all together different began to surface. As I penned the lyric, the idea of asking our Lord to dance and sing along with us in the throne room captivated me. I believe that the act of corporate worship is something we initiate, but I also believe that God changes us through it… to me, it’s truly a two-way conversation with the ‘Lord of all that lives and breathes.’

Lyrics:

CCLI Song #4435721

[VERSE]

Lord of all that lives and breathes

Creator of all glorious things

You never cease to manifest Your Grace

Friend of ev’ry sinful man and

Savior to this fallen land

You promise us Your Presence in this place

[PRE-CHORUS]

So I stand and implore You
