Story Behind The Song
I had written this song while I was leading worship at a church in Minneapolis. God gave this one to me as a constant reminder of why I do what I do.
Song Description
If you are looking for a song that captures the heart of a true worshipper of Jesus Christ, this is the song-this is a mutli-award winning worship song that draws the listener into the throne room of God. My heart's intent on writing it was to ascribe worship to Jesus Christ, and only Him.

Lyrics
I Give You Praise by Jim Vilandre
2003 Copywrite BMI

Lord You are love
Sent from heaven
And Lord Your love
Is 24/7
Lord You are my everything
And Lord You give me words to sing
Chorus
I give You praise
Lifted in Your name
Cause Jesus You are the name above all names
Lord You are all
And I fall
To my knees and I worship You
Bring Your spirit so close
Draw me close into Your presence now
Before Your throne I bow down
I lift my voice to You
And cry out
Chorus
Jesus you have the fame
Jesus you are the name above all names
I'm not ashamed to lift Your Holy Name
And I will pray and seek Your awesome face
Cause Jesus You are the name
Jesus You have all fame
We'll never be the same
We sing You praise
Bridge
There is a place
Where my heart takes refuge
Guarded and shielded with Your love
Lord take this heart
You've filled to overflowing
Receive the praise that I give to You
Chorus
Jesus You are the name above all names
We sing You praise!
