I Will Praise You is the ninth studio album by Australian Christian singer - songwriter Rebecca St. James. It was released on April 5, 2011 and is the one and only album to be distributed by Provident Label Group on Beach Street Records and Reunion Records.
I Will Praise You is a praise and worship album and her second worship-themed album since 2002's Worship God. St. James parted away with ForeFront Records after more than a decade and signed with Provident Label Group to release the album. It is St. James' first new studio album in five years and is a departure from the rock-fueled sound of her 2005 album If I Had One Chance to Tell You Something.
Eight of the songs are original recordings, while St. James co-wrote five of them. First single, "Shine Your Glory Down," is a pop/rock song with lyrics about worshiping God and encountering his light. "You Hold Me Now" is a Hillsong Music cover and St. James also covers worship singer Matt Redman's "You Never Let Go." The album is produced by Mark A. Miller. I Will Praise You peaked at number 9 on the Top Christian Albums and number 153 on the Top 200 Albums charts in Billboard magazine. It is St. James' first appearance on the Billboard 200 Albums chart since Worship God.
