In an attempt to mix rap and praise music, “Voices Praise Him” features Michael Tait and Kevin Max‘ vocals for the choruses and raps by TobyMac for the verses, a common formula throughout the trio’s discography, especially their self-titled album that features this song.
[Chorus: Michael Tait & Kevin Max, TobyMac]
Praise Him
Praise Him
Voices raisin'
Praise Him
Come on!
Praise Him
Voices raisin'
[Verse 1: TobyMac, TobyMac & Choir]
Praise Him, my friend, 'cause He sits on high
He's the Lord God Almighty, so don't ask why
Just worship Him, adore Him, and sing this praise
Ignite it, don't fight it, light it, leave it ablaze
Let it burn in your heart, stir in your soul
Proclaim honor to the Father as your lifelong goal
So sing allelujah, let the Word ring
Praise Him, voices raise Him as we worship the King
[Chorus: Michael Tait & Kevin Max]
Praise Him
Praise Him
Voices raisin'
Praise Him
Praise Him
Voices raisin'
[Verse 2: TobyMac, TobyMac & Choir]
When we praise, we raise the mighty name of the King
We're born again, y'all, we got a song to sing
He died, He's our guide, we call Him Christ
A man, a hill, a Cross and a price
The King o' Kings, Rose of Sharon, the Savior of men
He's the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and End
The sure Lord o' Lords, the Creator on High
Praise Him, voices raisin' as it rings in the sky, come on
[Chorus: Michael Tait & Kevin Max, TobyMac]
Praise Him
Praise the Lord God Almighty, the Father above
Praise Him
Voices raisin'
Praise Him
Lift up your voice like a trumpet for the Lord
Praise Him
Voices raisin'
[Verse 3: TobyMac]
Praise, let's raise the roof tonight
We're children of the Lord, we're soldiers o' light
Rejoice, let's voice His name on high
For He has given us all the gift of life
[Refrain: TobyMac & Choir]
Now say, "Praise"
Praise
Praise
Praise
Praise Him
Praise Him
Let me hear ya say, "Praise"
Praise
Praise
Praise
Praise Him
Praise Him
[Bridge: Michael Tait & Kevin Max]
Let everything
Let everything
That hath breath
That hath breath
Praise Him
Praise Him
Praise Him
In one accord
Unto the Lord
Unto the Lord
Praise Him
Praise Him
[Verse 4: TobyMac & Choir]
Hallelu—, do the do and begin to rejoice
Sing aloud, y'all, make a joyful noise
Young David used to rave it when he played on his harp
He wrote the Psalms, a book of songs from his heart
Two thousand years later, still a craze to praise
Not a phase, stand amazed at the infinite blaze
It's eternal, that's a fact, and I use rap
To bring glory mandatory 'cause the King'll be back, come on
[Chorus: Michael Tait & Kevin Max, TobyMac]
Praise Him
Come bring honor to the Father of Man
Praise Him
Voices raisin'
Praise Him
Sing "Hosanna" to the King of all kings
Praise Him
Voices raisin' (Come on!)
[Break: TobyMac & Michael Tait]
Yo, Tait, I think by now these people know we're tryna say we need to praise the Lord
Sing it to 'em. It's all I'm sayin', man
Hey hey, bottom line is it pleases God and that's what I'm all about
Yeah. Word
Come on, K-Max, let's sing it again!
Huh ho!
[Chorus: Michael Tait & Kevin Max, TobyMac]
Praise Him
The Almighty King of Kings and Lord of Lords
Praise Him
Voices raisin'
Praise Him
Praise the Messiah risen from the dead
Praise Him
Voices raisin'
[Outro: Michael Tait & Kevin Max, TobyMac]
Praise Him
Praise the Lord God Almighty…
