Have you ever sung "Praise is What I Do" by William Murphy?
I have included the lyrics below take a couple minutes and sing the song.
Solo
Praise is what I do
When I want to be close to You,
I lift my hands in praise.
Praise is who I am,
I will praise Him while I can.
I'll bless Him at all times.
Chorus
I vow to praise You
Through the good and the bad.
I'll praise You,
Whether happy or sad.
I'll praise You
(This is my testimony)
In all that I go through,
(Somebody said why)
Because praise is what I do,
Cause I owe it all to You.
Verse 1
(Come on church)
Praise is what I do
(Come on church)
When I want to be close to You,
(I lift my hands-somebody lift Him)
I lift my hands in praise.
(Somebody say it so the devil will hear you)
Praise is who I am,
(Come on praise the Lord)
I will praise Him while I can.
I'll bless Him at all times.
Chorus
And I vow to praise You
Through the good and the bad.
I'll praise You,
Whether happy or sad.
I'll praise You
(Somebody lift your voice and say)
Verse 2
Praise is what I do,
Even when I am going through,
(See I've learned...)
I've learned to worship You.
(See I want to let the devil know tonight, even though...)
Though my circumstance doesn't even stand a chance,
My praise out weighs the bad.
(So I vow to praise)
Repeat Chorus
Now somebody lift your voice
And just go to praising him right now
Somebody lift your voice in this place
Lift up your voice in this place
The song is a beautiful expression of the author's praise to God. The writer states he will praise God through the good times and the bad. During my senior year in high school I remember singing this song and making a commitment to God that I would praise him in good times and in bad. My prayer was extremely sincere. I knew my life would not always be as easy as it was in high school. I was preparing myself to give God the praise he is worthy of despite my situation.
As you can imagine, I began to face difficult situations however, I never forgot my commitment to praise God. Every time I gave thanks I would begin to feel better about my situation. If you are discouraged this is the perfect opportunity to praise God! Praising God will make you feel better as God works on your behalf. As the song states "...my circumstance doesn't even stand a chance, my praise out weighs the bad." Your praise will begin to minimize the challenge you are facing. So praise him!

Psalms 150
"Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power."
"Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness."
"Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp."
"Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with the stringed instruments and organs."
"Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals."
"Let everything that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD."
What is your praise style? Do you praise God while driving, in your home or at church? Do you sing, speak, or dance your praise? Do you shout or do you give God a quiet praise? Praising God is exciting. He is worthy of all of our praise. So praise him with all that is within you. The author of this last Psalms tells us to praise God with a variety of instruments and dance. If you have breath which you must since you are alive you need to praise GOD!
