This is a collaborative P & W song with Steven Shaffner from Psalm 149.com
A diverse Christian Rock band whose musical influences reflect everything from Waylon Jennings to Jimi Hendrix to the Clash.
"O come let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation." Psalm 95:1 This verse and others like it in scripture that refer to "joyful noise" have been in a way very liberating to me. I've always had a passion for music, but not necessarily the kind of music that you would associate with God or church. I believe however that the passions in all of our hearts are placed there by an inerrant God. In scripture it is clear that God is much more interested in the heart of the person offering up the joyful noise to him, than he is in how talented, structured or appropriate the noise may be. As kind of a jack of all trades and master of none musically (especially vocals), I have been emboldned by the work of God in my heart and by some open minded and loving friends at church to pursue the passion for musical creativity that God has let lie dormant in me for a long time. My hope is that this site can be a sort of trail of bread crumbs along whatever path the Lord leads me down. Thanks also to www.psalm149.com and all the members there. It's a terrific site for learning to songwrite and record at home.

Story behind the song
Steven posted the original draft of this song on Ps 149. We revised it and I put the music to it.
Lyrics
GIVE HIM PRAISE Steven Shaffner Bob August (c) 2004 v1 He spilled his blood for us He died on the cross that day Because of the love he had He knew the price He'd have to pay Let's lift our hands toward the sky And give him praise Ch Give him praise He's our lord and savior Give him praise He is so worthy Give him praise He deserves it all v2 Bless his holy name for What he did at Calvary We were the ones to blame But he died for our sins anyway Let's lift our hands toward the sky And give him praise Bridge Lord we want to worship you And serve you the best that we can We raise our hands up to you And glorify the name of your lamb
