Let praise be a weapon that silences the enemy
Let praise be a weapon that conquers all anxiety
Let it rise, let praise arise
We sing Your name in the dark and it changes everything
We sing with all we are and we claim Your victory
Let it rise, let praise arise
We’ll see You break down every wall
We’ll watch the giants fall
Fear cannot survive when we praise You
The God of breakthrough’s on our side
Forever we lift Him high
With all creation cry, God, we praise You
Oh, we praise You
Oh
Let faith be the song that overcomes the raging sea
Let faith be the song that calms the storm inside of me
Let it rise, let faith arise
Let it rise
We’ll see You break down every wall
We’ll watch the giants fall
Fear cannot survive when we praise You
The God of breakthrough’s on our side
Forever lift Him high
With all creation cry, God, we praise You
Oh, we praise You
Oh
This is what living looks like
This is what freedom feels like
This is what Heaven sounds like
We praise You, we praise You
This is what living looks like
This is what freedom feels like
This is what Heaven sounds like
We praise You, we praise You
This is what living looks like
This is what freedom feels like
This is what Heaven sounds like
We praise You, we praise You
This is what living looks like
This is what freedom feels like
This is what Heaven sounds like
We praise You, we praise
We’ll see You break down every wall
We’ll watch the giants fall
Fear cannot survive when we praise You
The God of breakthrough’s on our side
Forever lift Him high
With all creation cry, God, we praise You
We’ll see You break down every wall
We’ll watch the giants fall
‘Cause fear cannot survive when we praise You
The God of breakthrough’s on our side
Forever lift Him high
With all creation cry, God, we praise You
Oh, we praise You
Oh, we praise You
Oh, we praise You
Oh, we praise You
I can’t hold back my praise
I got to let it out
[x10]
This is what living looks like
This is what freedom feels like
This is what Heaven sounds like
We praise You, we praise You
This is what living looks like
This is what freedom feels like
This is what Heaven sounds like
We praise You, we praise
We’ll see You break down every wall
We’ll watch the giants fall
My fear cannot survive when we praise You
The God of breakthrough’s on our side
Forever lift Him high
With all creation cry, God, we praise You
Oh, we praise You
