Lyrics

Verse 1
May my cry come before You;
O Lord, give me understanding.
May my lips overflow with praise,
For you teach me Your decrees.
May my cry come before You;
O Lord, give me understanding.
May my lips overflow with praise,
For you teach me Your decrees.

Verse 2
May my tongue sing of Your word,
For all Your commands are righteous.
I have longed for salvation, Lord,
And Your law is my delight.
May my tongue sing of Your word,
For all Your commands are righteous.
I have longed for salvation, Lord,
And Your law is my delight.

Chorus
Let me live that I may praise You,
And may Your laws sustain me.
May my life overflow with praise;
O let me live that I may praise You.
