Verse 1:
When I was down and out,
Jesus, He brought me out
and I've got a reason...
(I've got a reason to praise the Lord).
When I couldn't see my way,
He showed me a brighter day,
and I've got a reason...
(I've got a reason to praise the Lord).
Verse 2:
When I was in sin,
He gave me new life within
and I've got a reason...
(I've got a reason to praise the Lord).
When I didn't have a dime,
He stepped right in on time
and I've got a reason...
(I've got a reason to praise the Lord).
Chorus:
For He's been so good to me,
gave me the victory,
walked right by my side,
always been my guide.
Verse 1
Verse 2
Chorus
Bridge:
Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
(praise Him all creatures here below).
Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts,
(praise God, the Father, and the Son, and Holy Ghost).
(When I was down and out),
(Jesus, He brought me out and I've got a reason...)
I've got a reason to praise the Lord.
Vamp 1:
I'll praise Him with my hands.
I'll praise Him in the dance.
I'll praise Him with my voice.
I'll praise Him, that's my choice.
Vamp 2:
I'll praise Him.
I'll praise Him.
Vamp 3:
Yes, I'll praise Him.
Yes, I'll praise Him.
Ending:
(When I was down and out),
(Jesus, He brought me out and I've got a reason...)
I've got a reason to praise the Lord.
