Oh Lord my life I owe to You
Each breath I take is by Your grace
My ways my heart
They yield to Yours
My soul cries out to hear Your voice
You are the source of life and my strength
I need You more and more
You are the reason that I live
I need You more and more
In You I live and move
And have my life
I am sustained renewed
And loved by You
I need You Lord
I need You Lord
I need You
I need You
