Blue Note Praise

Lyrics

Written by Carl Hicks Jr. / SESAC

Blue Note Praise
[Intro]
One time… let it swing…

[Verse 1]
I got a hallelujah
With a little grit in it
I got a thank You, Jesus
With some blues inside the chord
If joy had a color
Mine been deep midnight
But You turned that midnight
Into morning light

[Pre-Chorus]
So I won’t fake it
I’ll bring it honest
Still You love it

[Chorus]
This my blue note praise
Still praise
Tears on my face
Still praise
I’m not perfect
But I’m here
And You been good
Through every year
This my blue note praise

[Verse 2]
Some days I’m off-beat
But You keep the time
Some days I’m weak
But You still make me shine
I may bend the melody
But You hold the song
I learned my “Amen”
In the days I felt wrong

[Bridge]
Let the horns talk
Let the keys cry
Let my voice run
Till my fear die

[Outro]
Still praise… still praise… (repeat)
