美國黑人福音歌曲(Gospel)融合了基督教聖樂與非洲民俗音樂,是種獨特的、節奏性極強的音樂類型,「喊叫(Shouts)的音樂」常被用來形容黑人福音歌曲中人聲的力度,歌唱者藉由大力「演奏」上帝創造的「樂器」向世人宣揚信仰。在風格上與早期口耳傳唱的黑人靈歌(Spiritual)已有不同。十九世紀的美國黑人將福音歌曲廣泛應用在創作上,用以表達對信仰的熱誠,而黑人福音歌曲對西方二十世紀的流行音樂也影響深遠,如貓王(Elvis Presley)、皇后合唱團(Queen)的歌曲中都有著黑人福音歌曲的影子。而從1969年開始,美國福音音樂協會每年都會頒發金鴿獎(Dove Award)給優秀的福音音樂工作者,為福音流行樂界的一大盛事。
〈應受讚頌〉 是首歡騰的讚美福音歌曲,以「Praise the Lord」一句作為主題不斷出現。全曲高潮以四個聲部陸續疊入,唱著不同的讚美詞,如人潮聚集一般。聲音越來越響亮,最後的齊唱「He's worthy to be praised」再次點出主題,作為結束。
作曲者拜倫.J.史密斯(Byron J. Smith, 1957─)出生於美國洛杉磯,是一個多才多藝的音樂家。除作曲外,也擔任過編曲、製作人,也寫過音樂劇。曾與Wynton Marsalis、Barbra Streisand、Dionne Warwick等美國知名歌手合作過。他同時也是洛杉磯聖靈合唱團(The Spirit Chorale of Los Angeles)的指揮。洛杉磯聖靈合唱團曾多次世界巡迴演出,備受國際讚揚。

Praise the Lord in the highest!! Praise His holy name !! Wow
There is a distinction in the pronounciation of some of the words, but that hardly detracts from the fact that this is a very energetic and amazing performance!! Well done!
