When I Hear The Praises Start Lyrics & Chords

By Keith Green

Verse 1

(D)My son, My (Bm)son, why are you striving (A)

(G)You can't add one (Bm)thing to what's been (A)done for you

(D)I did it (Bm)all while I was dying (A)

(G)Rest in your (Bm)faith, my peace will (A)come to you



Chorus

For when I hear the (G)praises (A)start

I (D)want to rain upon (A)you

Blessings that will (G)fill your (A)heart

I (D)see no stain upon (Em)you

Because you (G)are my child and you (A)know me

To (D)Me you're only holy

Nothing that you've (Em)done (G)remains

Only what you (D)do for Me



Verse 2

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



Chorus

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



Verse 3

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
