Michael Tolf: Music/Lyrics
"All Of The Praise" - from the album "The Season Of Love"
(Michael Tolf)
God began to give me this song in 1996. I remember working on the lyrics while delivering pizza for "Godfathers" (one of my many day/night jobs). As I drove from house to house, I would scribble down lyric ideas. It took a while to figure out the bridge ("All my sorrows are before you"...). The bridge is always the toughest, but so rewarding once you've crossed it.
I've been blessed all my life
God's given me so much joy
At times I must confess - I haven't done my best
To thank the Lord for all He's done for me
I'm gonna give You all of the praise
From now till the end of my days
All that I have is Yours
You have set my mind at ease
Need you to walk by my side
Need you to take all my pride
Oh won't You fill me up
With Your grace that flows from a heart of love
Looking back I can see
All the times You were there
Watching over me - waiting patiently
I was so blind an unaware
Gonna give You all of the praise
From now till the end of my days
All that I have is Yours
You have set my mind at ease
Need You to walk by my side
Need You to take all my pride
Oh won't you fill me up
With your grace that flows from a heart of love
All my sorrows are before You
And my past I leave behind
For now that I can see - Your love sets me free
I want it constantly - for now and always
Repeat Chorus
