Praise

About Praise

"Praise" is a 1981 gospel-inspired disco number released by American soul singer Marvin Gaye. The song, written by Gaye, is a tribute to not only his church upbringing but also to the sound of then-label mate Stevie Wonder, who is given a shout out on the song by Gaye. In the song, he persuades a lady to be positive in difficult times and let her "love come shining through". He then moves forward to praise God, similar to how a preacher would recite such passages from The Bible. The song, equipped with horns, a propulsive drum beat, and Gaye's multi-layered vocals, was Gaye's second Top 40 hit since "A Funky Space Reincarnation" on Billboard's Hot Soul Singles chart, where it peaked at number 18 on that chart while reaching #101 on Billboard's Bubbling Under the Hot 100. "Praise" was the first release off Gaye's controversial recording, In Our Lifetime. more »

Say, baby
You know I want you
To let your light come shining through
Aww, baby
Baby, why don't you
Just let your love come shining through
Baby
No need to worry
Let your love come shining through
Honey
When in trouble
Let your love come shining through
Ohh, baby
You'll be happy
When your light come shining through
Baby
Life is a party
And you let your love come shining through

Let it shine, baby
Let it shine, baby
Let it shine, baby
Let it shine, baby
Shine all the time
Shine and be kind
Then you'll feel fine
Then you'll be mine

Baby
Life is worth living
If you let your love come shining through
Aww, baby
The world is mellow
When you let your love come shining through

Ooh, baby
The world is waiting
So let your light come shining through
Stevie
We really dig you
Hope you don't mind this riff from you

Oh, praise Him when you go to work
Praise Him when your feelings hurt
Praise Him when you're feeling bad
Praise Him when you're feeling sad
All praises to the power
Praise Him by the love you give
Praise Him by the way you live
Praise Him even when you dance and make romance
When you make romance(let your light come shining through,baby)
Praise Him when you got no time
Praise Him whether rain or shine (shine shine shine shine shine)
Praise Him for the sun lighted sky
Praise Him for the moonlight
Praise Him bringing summer
Praise Him for the weather
Praise Him with thy mighty soul
Praise Him with thy money bowl
Praise Him by the words you speak
You'll just have to let you see
Praise Him every single day
Praise Him in all kinds of ways
Praise Him from the mountaintop
Praise Him even
Praise to the power
Praise Him every day
Praise Him in a special way
