More Praise and Worship, this time from Hillsong, No 61 in AOV NG is “Hear Our Praises”, written by Reuben Morgan. It is simple – the sequence took only about 15 minutes on Band in a Box – memorable and pretty singable – only a few D’s to crack up on. It is also unadventurous, plain and bland but you just add your own inspiration and sing out loud. Instead of putting the repeat on the second chorus, I just repeated the verse as well – call me lazy, but the verse is no more nor less plain than the chorus so I figured it doesn’t matter, especially as I’m sure most people know this one already and Hillsong throw innumerable Hallelujah’s in their version, which you could sing as a third verse.
One nice thing about this run of P&W songs, is that most have lyrics on the net, so that means less typing for me.
You can purchase the sheet music for download at several sites on the net including musicnotes.
Verse 1
May our homes be filled with dancing
May our streets be filled with joy.
May injustice bow to Jesus
As the people turn to pray.Chorus
From the mountains to the valleys
Hear our praises rise to You,
From the heavens to the nations
Hear our singing fill the air.Verse 2
May a light shine in the darkness
As we walk before the cross
May Your glory fill the whole earth
As the water o’er seas.Chorus
