Garments Of Praise (ICD Dance Choreograph & Lyrics)
(Video to be added for this dance)
Lyrics:
Put on the garments of
praise for the spirit of heaviness
Let the oil of gladness flow
down, from your throne
Put on the garments of
praise for the spirit of heaviness
Your joy is me strength
Yahweh, my strength alone
Make these broken weary
bones rise to dance again
Wet this dry and thirsty
land with a river
Lord our eyes are fixed on
You, we are waiting
For your garments of praise,
as we praise Your name
HalleluYAH sing halleluYAH
We give all honor and praise
to Your Name HalleluYAH, sing halleluYAH
We trade our sorrows for
garments of praise
