Intro
It's a little story - snapshot in time,
To tell the Father’s glory, in your daily life,
It was coined "Vignette", for a catchy name,
We say, "Praise the Lord, for the songs we sing (pronounced "sang")
Praise the Lord for songs we sing".

[Instru Interlude]

Vs. 1
The kids run outside and you watch them play,
It’s a late afternoon on a summer day,
Playing with the neighbors, playing with their friends,
You say, "Praise the Lord for the things He gives,
Praise the Lord for the things He gives".

[Instru Interlude]

Vs. 2
I heard you lost your job, business took a lapse,
Had to hit the streets and start from scratch,
But when times are tough, the best thing to do,
Is say, "Praise the Lord in the ways He moves,
Praise the Lord in the ways He moves".

[Instru Interlude]

Vs. 3
Day after day in a hospital bed,
Diagnosis was bad, Satan got in your head,
But prayers can change the way things unfold,
And You say, "Praise the Lord for miracles,
Praise the Lord for miracles".

[Instru Interlude]

Vs. 4
As years grew on, someone had to go,
To be with the Father in a better home,
Though it hurts sometimes to think of her or him,
You say, "Praise the Lord for our fellowship,
Praise the Lord for our fellowship".

[Instru Interlude]

Vs. 5
Back at the house, it wasn't working right,
You had stinky drains, and leaky pipes,
Asked a brother or two to volunteer a Sat.,
And said, "Praise the Lord for the life we have,
Praise the Lord for the life we have".
