When I Hear the Praises Start by Keith Green Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
Just what you do for Me

[Verse 3]
My precious Bride, the day is nearing
When I'll take you in My arms and hold you
I know there are so many things that you've been hearing
But you just hold on to what I have told you

[Chorus]
For when I hear the praises start
Oh, 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
[Outro]
Just what you do for Me
What you do for Me
Just what you do for Me
