*Halal* is an exuberant expression of celebration that moves you to shout and cheer and lift your hands. *Shabach* means to declare triumph in a loud voice. "How Great is Our God" is an anthem of corporate praise that declares that Jesus is the "name above all names."
*Yadah* means to revere with extended hands, and *barak* means to kneel and bless God as an act of adoration. The song "Holy is the Lord" was inspired by the apostle John's vision of heaven in Revelation 4:8.
*Tehillah* is a spontaneous song, and *zamar* signifies celebrating in song and music. The song "Good Good Father" came from a time of praying for a request that seemed beyond miraculous, and spontaneously singing words of praise in the middle of immense pain.
*Towdah* is a sacrifice of praise, a thanksgiving for things not yet received. "I Lift My Hands" came out of Louie Giglio's experience of waking up in the night and singing when anxiety kept him awake.
