God inhabits the praise of His people,
He has made us...His dwelling place;
When we feel oppressed on all sides,
Then, He showers us with His grace.

He lifts us up, by His Spirit,
He causes us to stand;
He reaches out with His great love,
And, He holds us in His hand.

Time and time we learn this lesson,
Learn to trust Him in all things;
Were we quick to learn that power,
His praises, we'd quickly sing.

He takes us from the valleys,
Brings us to the mountain peaks;
Praise to Him is uplifting,
It's His presence that we seek.

When life has brought you down low,
There seems no other way;
Remember, you're His dwelling place,
And, praise Him every day.
