CHORUS
I worship You Lord
I worship You Lord
I give You my praise
I sing a new song
(repeat)
You have given me the ability
To hear and obey
I delight to do Your will
Help me to walk in Your ways
(chorus)
I waited patiently for You Lord
And You heard my cry
You have put a new song in my mouth
Praises to our God
(chorus)
Let those who seek You rejoice
And be glad in You
Let those who love Your salvation say
"The Lord be praised, the Lord be praised!"
CHORUS
I worship You Lord
I worship You Lord
I give You my praise
I sing a new song
(repeat)
All of my days I will sing to You
Fill up my days with a song
Drawing aside just to be with You
Putting it all in a song
(chorus)
