Story Behind The Song
My dentist bartered with me to put some music to his lyrics in 1989. It was put on Elyse's record I produced in 1993. After the release, she performed 2 concerts... This song has only been on this independent release and has never been off the shelf since. Until now.

Lyrics
I JUST WANT TO PRAISE YOU LORD
Words by Garth West Music by Mark Vincent Pence ©1989
V1
THE BLOWING WIND CALLS YOUR NAME
RACING CLOUDS SPELL GRACE
SUNLIGHT FILTERS THROUGH THE DARK
WARMLY BEATING ON MY FACE
YOU HAVE GIVEN A WORLD SO BEAUTIFUL TO ME,
TOUCH MY LIFE, MAKE ME A PART OF YOUR CREATIVITY
CHO
AND I JUST WANT TO PRAISE YOU LORD
I JUST WANT TO PRAISE YOU LORD
ON THE ALTAR OF MY HEART
I JUST WANT TO BE A PART OF YOU
I JUST WANT TO PRAISE YOU LORD
V2
MADE IN YOUR OWN IMAGE LORD
YOU?VE LOVED ENOUGH TO SHARE
YOUR ONLY SON TO CARRY,
ALL THE SINS THAT I SHOULD BEAR
YOU HAVE GIVEN A GIFT SO PRECIOUS TO ME
YOU SAVED MY LIFE, YOU MADE ME PART OF YOUR CREATIVITY
CHO
AND I JUST WANT TO PRAISE YOU LORD
I JUST WANT TO PRAISE YOU LORD
ON THE ALTAR OF MY HEART
I JUST WANT TO BE A PART OF YOU
I JUST WANT TO PRAISE YOU LORD
BRIJ
GIVEN A REASON,
I?VE BEEN GIVEN A CHOICE
FOR YOU I HAVE CHOSEN
TO LIFT UP MY VOICE
CHO
AND I JUST WANT TO PRAISE YOU LORD
I JUST WANT TO PRAISE YOU LORD
ON THE ALTAR OF MY HEART
I JUST WANT TO BE A PART OF YOU
I JUST WANT TO PRAISE YOU LORD
