Understanding the song's trajectory requires looking closely at how the verses set up the central declaration. Below is the lyrical framework that defines the anthem:
Verse 1
I bring my heart, I bring my hands
I lay them down where mercy stands
No hidden past, no mask to wear
You meet me in my honest prayer
From every fall You lift me high
My broken soul You satisfy
Chorus
Praise the Lord, my soul will sing
Praise the Lord, my offering
Through the darkest night, through the brightest day
My heart will choose to give You praise
Praise the Lord forever, amen
Verse 2
Your grace alone has paved the way
Your love washed every stain away
Though flesh may fail and strength run low
This steady truth will never go
The cross has spoken once for all
Upon Your name I freely call
Chorus
Praise the Lord, my soul will sing
Praise the Lord, my offering
Through the darkest night, through the brightest day
My heart will choose to give You praise
Praise the Lord forever, amen

Let every breath I breathe return to You
Your promises are faithful, pure, and true
From generation to generation standing strong
Lord, Jesus, You will always have my song
Let every breath I breathe return to You
Your promises are faithful, pure, and true
From generation to generation standing strong
Lord, Jesus, You will always have my song
Chorus
Praise the Lord, my soul will sing
Praise the Lord, my offering
Through the darkest night, through the brightest day
My heart will choose to give You praise
Praise the Lord forever, amen
