“I Owe Him That Praise”
Based on Psalm 116 – Personal, powerful, and raw with longing

[Verse 1]
You heard me when I called,
When I was drowning in despair.
You bent down low to lift me up—
Your mercy met me there.

I was fading in the silence,
Falling fast, too far to stand…
But You reached into my darkness,
With healing in Your hands.

[Pre-Chorus]
So how can I repay You now
For love I don’t deserve?
My life, my breath, my broken hallelujahs—
They're all Yours.

[Chorus]
I still got a praise
Deep down in my soul
Even with my scars
God, You’re in control
The battle’s heavy
But I won’t let go
I’m reaching for Your hand
Even when I’m low
I still got a praise
Still got a praise
Through the fire, through the haze—
I owe Him that praise

[Verse 2]
You kept me when I wandered,
You stayed when I walked away.
I cried out in the struggle,
And You showed up anyway.

You loosed my chains in secret,
When no one else could see,
And taught my soul to worship
From a place that set me free.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
So I lift my cup of salvation,
To the One who took my place.
I offer up this sacrifice—
A heart undone by grace.

[Chorus – Repeat with Build]
I still got a praise
Deep down in my soul
Even with my scars
God, You’re in control
The battle’s heavy
But I won’t let go
I’m reaching for Your hand
Even when I’m low
I still got a praise
Still got a praise
Through the fire, through the haze—
I owe Him that praise

[Bridge – Worship Breakdown]
I won’t be quiet
I won’t sit still
As long as I’m breathing
I’ll bless You still

For every tear You’ve counted
For every debt You paid—
I lift my life and say…
I owe You that praise.

(Repeat bridge – build into full worship)

[Final Chorus – Soaring]
I still got a praise
It won't be denied
It’s louder than the fear
It’s deeper than my pride
When the night is longest
Still, I will raise
This voice You rescued—
I owe You that praise.

[Outro – Quiet or Ad-lib Vamp]
Still got a praise…
Still got a praise…
Oh Lord, I owe You…
I owe You that praise…
