Keith Green - When I Hear The Praises Start
My son, my son, why are you striving
You can’t add one thing to what’s been done for you
I did it all while I was dying
Rest in your faith, my peace will come to you
For when I hear the praises start
I want to rain upon you
Blessings that will fill your heart
I see no stain upon you
Because you are my child and know me
To me you’re only holy
Nothing that you’ve done remains
Only what you do for me
My child, my child, why are you weeping
You will not have to wait forever
That day and that hour is in my keeping
The day I’ll bring you into heaven
For when I hear the praises start
My child, I want to rain upon you
Blessing that will fill your heart
I see no stain upon you
Because you are my child and you know me
To me you’re only holy
Nothing that you’ve done remains
Only what you do in me
My precious bride, the day is nearing
When I’ll take you in my arms and hold you
I know there are so many things that you’ve been hearing
But you just hold on to what I have told you
For when I hear the praises start
My bride, I want to rain upon you
Blessings that will fill your heart
I see no stain upon you
Because you are my child, and you know me
To me you’re only holy
Nothing that you’ve done will remain
Only what you do for me
