Keith Green: When I Hear the Praises Start

My son, my son, why are you striving?
You can't add one thing to what's been done for you
I did it all while I was dying
Rest in your faith, My peace will come to you

For when I hear the praises start
Oh, I wanna rain upon you
Blessings that will fill your heart
I see no stain upon you
Because you are my child and you know me
To me, you're only holy
Nothing that you've done remains
Only what you do for me

My child, my child, why are you weeping?
You will not have to wait forever
That day and that hour is in my keeping
The day I'll bring you into Heaven

For when I hear the praises start, my child
I wanna rain upon you
Blessings that will fill your heart
I see no stain upon you
Because you are my child and you know me
To me, you're only holy
Nothing that you've done remains
Only what you do in me
Just what you do for me

My precious Bride, the day is nearing
When I'll take you in my arms and hold you
I know there's so many things that you've been hearing
But you just hold on to what I have told you

For when I hear the praises start
My Bride, I wanna rain upon you
Blessings that will fill your heart
Oh, I see no stain upon you
Because you are my child and you know me
To me, you're only holy
Nothing that you've done will remain
Only what you do for me

Just what you do in me
What you do for me
Just what you do for me
