And I heard Your voice calling my name
From the tomb I came alive

Let praise arise forever and always
Cos when I think of all You've done
And all the battles You've brought me over, hallelujah, ooh
And all the storms I saw Him calm in my defense
My only song is, Hallelujah (Glory hallelujah, Glory hallelujah)
And how He never let me fall
Now unto Him who is able, hallelujah (Hallelujah in the highest)
So let there never be a day
That I don't rise to bring You praise, hallelujah

And all the battles You've brought me over, hallelujah, ooh
And all the storms I saw Him calm in my defense
My only song is, hallelujah
(I will bless the Lord at all times and his praise will forever be on my lips)
How He never let me fall
Now unto Him who is able, hallelujah
And let there never be a day
That I don't rise to bring You praise, hallelujah
