Be blessed and encouraged by this deeply moving rendition of “Praise The Lord” performed by the well-acclaimed gospel singer and artist Russ Taff. This beautiful song carries a powerful message that speaks directly to the heart, especially during seasons when life feels overwhelming and burdens seem heavy. The lyrics are inspiring and filled with hope, serving as a reminder that praise is not only for moments of joy and victory, but also for times when we are struggling and searching for strength. There is something truly uplifting about songs that can minister to the soul and gently remind us of God’s faithfulness even in our most difficult moments.

This is one of those timeless songs that many of us need to hold onto when fear tries to take over, when anxiety weighs heavily on our hearts, or when we are walking through painful trials and difficult circumstances. In those moments, it is important to remember that our hope is greater than our struggles and that our faith can rise above our fears. As believers, we are reminded that the enemy seeks to discourage and deceive, but his power has already been defeated through the victory won at the cross by our Lord Jesus Christ. May this song strengthen your spirit, renew your faith, and remind you to keep lifting up praise, because God’s promises remain true and His presence remains constant through every season of life.

Praise The Lord Lyrics

Russ Taff

When you’re up against a struggle, that shatters all your dreams
And your hopes have been cruelly crushed by Satan’s manifested schemes
And you feel the urge within you to submit to earthly fear
Don’t let the faith you’re standing in seem to disappear

Praise the Lord, He will work through those who praise Him
Praise the Lord, for our God inhabits praise
Praise the Lord, for the chains that seem to bind you
Serve only to remind you, that they drop powerless behind you
When you praise Him

Now, Satan is a liar and he wants to make us think
That we are paupers, when he knows himself we’re children of the King
So lift up the mighty shield of faith for the battle must be won
We know that Jesus Christ has risen and the work’s already done

Praise the Lord, He will work through those who praise Him
Praise the Lord, for our God inhabits praise
Praise the Lord, for the chains that seem to bind you
Serve only to remind you, that they drop powerless behind you
When you praise Him

Praise the Lord, He will work through those who praise Him
Praise the Lord, for our God abides in our praise
Praise the Lord, for the chains that seem to bind you
Serve only to remind you, that they drop powerless behind you
When you praise Him

When you praise Him
When you praise Him
When you praise
When you praise, you praise the Lord
Praise the Lord

The joyful promise of the Lord’s return has always been one of the most encouraging and hope-filled messages in the Christian faith. What a wonderful reminder it is to know that Jesus is coming again, and that His promises never fail. There is a special kind of excitement and anticipation that fills the heart when listening to songs that celebrate this truth. It lifts the spirit and turns our attention away from the challenges and uncertainties of this world, reminding us to keep our eyes fixed on the hope we have in Christ. Songs like these do more than entertain—they inspire faith, strengthen believers, and create an atmosphere of joyful expectation.

We can rejoice and sing along with the uplifting gospel classic “Soon and Very Soon,” beautifully written by Andre Crouch and powerfully performed by the well-acclaimed gospel singer Jessy Dixon. His passionate and energetic delivery captures the excitement and expectation of the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in such a meaningful way. The words bring to mind the powerful testimony of Jesus to the churches in the book of Revelation: “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.” What a glorious promise and what a blessed hope for all who believe. Hallelujah! May this song encourage hearts, renew faith, and fill everyone who listens with joy and expectation as we await His coming.

Soon and Very Soon Lyrics

Soon and very soon
We are going to see the King

Soon and very soon
We are going to see the King

Soon and very soon
We are going to see the King
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
We’re going to see the king

No more cryin there,
We are going to see the King

No more cryin there,
We are going to see the King

No more cryin there,
We are going to see the King
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
We’re going to see the King

Should there be any rivers we must cross
Should there be any mountains we must climb
God will supply all the strength that we need
Give us strength till we reach the other side.

We have come from every nation, God knows each of us by name.
Jesus shed[took] his blood and he washed my sins.
he washed them all away.
Yes there are some of us who have laid down our lives but we
all shall live again on the other side… soon and very soon.

Hallelujah
Halleljuah
We’re going to see the King!
