The rocks will cry out, the oceans will roar
The mountains will bow to the name of the Lord
He is our God, He will be praised
The idols will fall, the strongholds will break
Every weapon that forms will shatter and fail
He is our God, He is our faith
Praise is the highway to the throne of God
Praise is the highway to the heart of God
Praise is the highway to the move of God
Revival will come, the Church will awake
His anthem will drown all other refrains
He is our song, He forever reigns
He reigns
Praise is the highway to the throne of God
Praise is the highway to the heart of God
Praise is the highway to the move of God
Lift up your head, fling wide the gates
Break down the walls with a shout of praise
Lift up your voice, pull heaven down
Oh, sing like thunder His praises loud
Lift up your head, fling wide the gates
Break down the walls with a shout of praise
Lift up your voice, pull heaven down
Oh, sing like thunder His praises loud
Praise is the highway to the throne of God
Praise is the highway to the heart of God
Praise is the highway to the move of God
Praise is the highway to the throne of God
Praise is the highway to the heart of God
Praise is the highway to the move of God
Lift up your head, fling wide the gates
Break down the walls with a shout of praise
Lift up your voice, pull heaven down
Oh, sing like thunder His praises loud
Lift up your head, fling wide the gates
Break down the walls with a shout of praise
Lift up your voice, pull heaven down
Oh, sing like thunder His praises loud
"Praise Is The Highway" is an uplifting and powerful song by Bethel Music that captures the essence of worship and the impact it can have on our lives. The song is featured on their album "Victory," which explores themes of God's faithfulness, victory over darkness, and the power of praise.
The lyrics of "Praise Is The Highway" remind us that praise is not just a mere act of singing songs, but a powerful tool that connects us to the heart of God. It declares that the rocks will cry out and the oceans will roar in praise to the Lord, emphasizing that all of creation recognizes and responds to the greatness of God. This concept is rooted in scripture, specifically in Luke 19:40 where Jesus says, "I tell you, if they keep silent, the stones will cry out." This verse highlights the significance of praising God and the magnitude of His glory.
The song also speaks of the mountains bowing to the name of the Lord, symbolizing the authority and sovereignty of God. This imagery aligns with the scripture verse in Philippians 2:10-11, which states, "that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." It reminds us that when we praise God, we are acknowledging His lordship and inviting His presence into our lives.
Another powerful aspect of "Praise Is The Highway" is the declaration that praise is the highway to the move of God. This concept is supported by various verses in the Bible, such as Psalm 22:3 which says, "But you are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel." This verse suggests that God is enthroned, or dwells, in the praises of His people. When we lift our voices in praise, we create an environment for God to move and work in our lives.
The song also speaks of revival and the awakening of the Church. It proclaims that revival will come and that the Church will rise up with a shout of praise. This theme resonates with the heart of God as expressed in 2 Chronicles 7:14, which says, "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." Praise is a catalyst for revival, as it stirs our hearts to seek God and align ourselves with His will.
Overall, "Praise Is The Highway" is a song that encourages us to embrace the power of praise in our lives. It reminds us that praising God is not just a religious obligation, but a transformative experience that connects us to the heart of God and releases His power and presence. As we lift our voices in praise, we open the way for God to move mightily in our lives, bringing revival, healing, and breakthrough. So let us join in with the anthem of heaven and declare that praise is the highway to God's throne and the key to experiencing His victory.
