[Intro - a lone fiddle kicks it off, a count-in, the band ready]

[Verse 1 - call the fiddle and the guitar]
Wake the fiddle up, set it singing,
Bring the flat-top guitar along,
We have got a reason, a risen Lord,
And a field that needs a song.

[Chorus]
Raise the song, raise the song,
Lift your voice till the whole valley sings along.
He is worthy, He is worthy, sing it loud and strong,
Come on, everybody, raise the song.

[Verse 2 - call the banjo, the steel, the piano]
Roll the banjo in and let it tumble,
Set the steel to cry and ring,
Sit somebody at that old piano,
We are here to praise the King.

[Chorus]
Raise the song, raise the song,
Lift your voice till the whole valley sings along.
He is worthy, He is worthy, sing it loud and strong,
Come on, everybody, raise the song.

[Verse 3 - call the room itself]
Now the only thing this song is missing
Is the sound of every hand,
So clap them like a timbrel, stomp the floorboards,
Let it carry through the land.

[Bridge - the reason, Psalm 150, His mighty acts]
Praise Him for His mighty acts,
Praise Him, for He has done it all.
He went down to the grave for us,
And He rose at the Father's call.
He has not left one of His own behind,
He has gathered every one.
That is the reason the fiddle and the field
And the whole valley raise the song.

[Chorus x2 - the whole band, the whole room]
Raise the song, raise the song,
Lift your voice till the whole valley sings along.
He is worthy, He is worthy, sing it loud and strong,
Come on, everybody, raise the song.

[Outro - Psalm 150:6, building then ringing out]
Let every thing that hath breath
Praise Him, praise Him.
Let every thing that hath breath
Raise the song.
