Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen

Though "Praise Anthem" comes from Fortune's 2004 debut release, the song has stood the test of time and is as uplifting today as it was 10 years ago.

From the song ...

[James:] Listen because you don't know like I know
[Choir:] You don't know like I know
[James:] Come on you don't know how good God has been to me.
[Choir:] You don't know like I know
[James:] You don't know where I was this time last year
[Choir:] You don't know like I know
[James:] You don't know some of the sins God has forgiven me for

And I vow to praise you 
Through the good and the bad 
I'll praise you 
Whether happy or sad

Cause I owe it all to you
