ACCEPT THIS PRAISE << Back to the Song List

See the Chords

What can I say to you that hasn't already been said?
What shining new praise can I bring?
All the words of the world have been used up by now
By others more eloquent than me.

Even if I thought up a few words of my own
To describe what my heart cannot say,
I can't ascribe to them a new meaning
A brand-new feeling created today.

But accept this praise, I give it to you
I swear it has meaning to me
Please accept this praise, I'm holding out my heart
It is not a fancy gift, more like a child's craft
Father, freely, freely do I praise

(Bridge)

What can I say to you that hasn't already been said?
What shining new praise can I bring?
All the words of the world have been used up by now
By others more eloquent than me.

Even if I thought up a few words of my own
To describe what my heart cannot say,
I can't ascribe to them a new meaning
A brand-new feeling created today.

But accept this praise, I give it to you
I swear it has meaning to me
Please accept this praise, I'm holding out my heart
It's just the tip of the iceberg, but I promise that I'll learn
To grow deeper and deeper into praise.

Please accept this praise...
Please accept this praise...
Please accept this praise...
