What are the names of these piano chords?

Q. I have this really cool chord progression! It goes like this:

First Chord: Eb/Ab/Bb
Second: Eb/A/Bb
Thrid: Eb/F/Bb
Fourth:Eb/Bb
If anyone knows this, please let me know! I want to put it to something.

A. You really can't apply normal names to these chords. What you're doing here is something called "quartal" harmony, which means that your chords are built in 4ths. Most Western music utilizes "tertial" harmony, where chords are built in 3rds. All the names for the chords we use are based on tertial harmony. They don't apply to quartal stuff.

You CAN give them names, but it's missing the point. Several composers have made liberal use of quartal harmony, but it's difficult to analyze. It's just one of those sounds that doesn't have really solid names yet.

Original Question

What is the name of this song, and who sings it?
Q. This song has been in my head all day. I cant remember the name or who sings it. It goes,
"I'm gonna praise you, with everything in me. I'm gonna lift you high, for all the world to see. I'm gonna worship, in everyway that I can. And when I've done it all, I'll do it all again."
Its so pretty, and I need who sings it to get piano chords to play it.

A. It Really could be any of these 3 songs

this one is almost exact i think, its by yolanda adams.

this seams like the song to me because the word lyrics in the song read about the same as you wrote:

this website has cords for those kind of lyrics:

Original Question

What is the name of the tune with this piano chord sequence?
Q. There's a really simple song with the chord sequence C A F G with what I think is 3 or 4 blocks of repeating melody, the sort of thing everyone knows a bit of, and I was worrying if anyone knows the name.

Really sorry it's a bit vague, but it's all I have to go on to describe it to you, since I always play the chords, and I don't know which notes the melody is on. Thanks in advance.

A. You're probably looking for Loesser & Carmichael's 1938 song ''Heart and Soul'' which ''is often simplified as a repeating I-vi-IV-V progression and taught to beginning piano students as an easy two-hand duet'' (Wiki):
