Church of Praise is a Christ-centered, biblically grounded church, committed to sharing God’s love by bringing people into His family and membership in the church, discipling them to be like Christ and equipped for the mission of serving the community through their passionate worship to God. It is a church that also believes in the power of prayer; to have a deep desire to not just know about God, but to know God and to experience Him in their lives daily and personally. . 'You Are My God' is the Church of Praise’s Creative Arts Team second release following their debut album 'In Your Presence'. All 10 songs in this album are composed by their own church members. The songs reflect their heart and passion to celebrate God’s greatness and majesty. Songs like "Lord You Are Worthy" and "You Are My God" are congregational worship songs that will inspire you to adore the Almighty God. “Whom Have I in Heaven”, a popular song in the church, is a personal psalmist song suitable for daily devotions.

Story behind the song
I remembered telling my father that songs should never be forced with a style, that no matter the lyrics or the tune, it always has its purpose and that God did not put the song or lyrics into the author’s head without a purpose. That every word used has its unique meaning. This song came to me during a worship service in 2005 when we were singing a song “You Are Holy” by Hillsong. The chorus “I’ll sing your praises forever, deeper in love with you” struck me as such a powerful song that a new tune came into my mind, similar but different in such a way that my first thoughts to God was “Lord here in your midst, I can be nothing but speechless in awe of you”. Immediately, the words started flowing in even as I sang during the progression of this song. It amazed me as to how it is so true that the scriptures “he put a new song in my mouth”, (Psalm 40:3) could come to such an extent where singing a common tune with others could bear such fruit. Words that I knew were closest to what described how awed I was in his presence just flashed across my mind as I scribbled them down. What still touches my heart is the response of how every intricate detail of the song touches a specific person and it warms me to think that even a single and unique word that God has placed in this song could touch a person so deeply. Praise God. All glory to the Lord
