[Verse 1]
He heard my cries, He bowed his ear
And chased my griefs away
O let my heart no more despair
While I have breath, breath to pray

[Chorus]
I love the Lord
He chased my griefs away
Despair no more
And use this breath to pray
I love the Lord
He chased my griefs away
Despair no more
And use this breath to pray
To pray, to pray

[Verse 2]
My flesh declined, my spirits fell
And I drew near the dead
Return my soul to God thy rest for
Thou hast known known His love

[Chorus]
I love the Lord
He chased my griefs away
Despair no more
And use this breath to pray
I love the Lord
He chased my griefs away
Despair no more
And use this breath to pray
To pray, to pray
[Bridge]
My God I cried thy servant save
Thy power can rescue me from the grave
My God I cried thy servant save
Thy power can rescue me from the grave
The grave

[Verse 3]
My God hath saved my soul from death
And dried my falling tears
Now to His praise I'll spend my breath
And my remain, remaining years

[Chorus]
I love the Lord
He chased my griefs away
Despair no more
And use this breath to pray
I love the Lord
He chased my griefs away
Despair no more
And use this breath to pray
