Before I Ask

Verse 1

Lord I come with nothing in my hands

Just a heart that's learned to kneel

Every want I carried to Your throne

I lay down until it's still

You were holy long before I spoke

You'll be holy when I'm gone

So I'll start my prayer the way You taught

With a name I lean upon

Chorus

Holy is Your name

Holy is Your name

Before I ask for anything

I'll bow and say the same

Holy is Your name

Holy is Your name

Great is the Lord and greatly praised

From the rising to the flame

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, holy is Your name

Oh-oh, holy is Your name

Verse 2

Kindness better than the breath I breathe

So my mouth will tell it plain

When the roof came down and the walls went up

Still the glory never came

Till the voices rose in a single line

And the room could not contain

What a people singing side by side

Brings a King who won't refrain

Chorus

Holy is Your name

Holy is Your name

Before I ask for anything

I'll bow and say the same

Holy is Your name

Holy is Your name

Great is the Lord and greatly praised

From the rising to the flame

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, holy is Your name

Oh-oh, holy is Your name

Bridge

Praise is a turning

Praise is a door

Praise is the place where I stop keeping score

Praise is a river

Praise is a road

Praise is the weight that I'm glad to unload

Humble and honest

Willing and true

I lift up the name that is faithful to You

Chorus

Holy is Your name

Holy is Your name

Before I ask for anything

I'll bow and say the same

Holy is Your name

Holy is Your name

Great is the Lord and greatly praised

From the rising to the flame

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh, holy is Your name

Oh-oh, holy is Your name

Tag

Every day I will bless You

Every day I will bless You

I will praise Your name forever

Forever and ever, amen
