Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Oh, I love the Lord, I surely do, surely do love the Lord (I love the Lord)
He heard, He heard my cry (He heard my cry)
And He pitied every groan, yes, He did, every groan (And He pitied every groan)
[Verse 3]
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, to, to (I hasten to)
I'll hasten to, I'll hasten to His throne (To His throne)
[Verse 4]
I know I can go, oh Lord, oh Lord (I'll hasten to His throne)
Tears are streaming down my eyes, I'll hasten to, I'll hasten to His throne (I'll hasten to His throne)
Yes, I will, I'll run, I know I can go to His throne (I'll hasten to His throne)
I know I can go, I know I can go, I'll hasten, I'm gonna run (I'll hasten to His throne)
I know I can go, I know I can go, I'll hasten to, I'll hasten to His throne (I'll hasten to His throne)
[Verse 5]
Oh, you know I will, I know I can go to Him (I'll hasten to His throne)
I know I can run to Jesus, ooh, I'll hasten to, I'll hasten to His, to His throne (I'll hasten to His throne)
I'll hasten to, hasten to His throne (I'll hasten to His throne)
Surely I will
