Lyrics
Let’s sing along with the lyrics!
I love the the Lord
He heard my cry
And pitied every groan
Long as I, I live
And troubles rise
I hasten to his throne
Oh, I love the Lord (I love the Lord)
I sure do, surely do love the Lord
He heard, he heard my cry (he heard my cry)
And pitied every groan, yes he did (and pitied every groan)
Every groan
Long as I live, long as I, I live (long as I live)
And troubles rise, troubles rise (and troubles rise)
I hasten to, to, to, to, to (I'll hasten to)
I'll hasten, I'll hasten to his throne (his throne)
(I'll hasten to his throne) hold on hold on
Tears are streaming down my eyes
I'll hasten, I'll hasten to his throne (I'll hasten to his throne)
Yes I will, I'll run (I'll hasten to)
I know I can go to his throne (his throne)
I know...
