Lord, teach my soul to praise You
Finding joy in the words I bring.
Oh train my soul to find its breath 
in You, whose song I sing

In seasons warmed with sunshine
Teach my soul to find breath in You.
When my paths are straight and my days are bright
Teach my soul that its breath is in You.

May my heart always praise You
Finding joy in the words I bring
Oh train my soul to find its breath 
in You, whose song I sing

So that, when bone-chilling winters come
With darkness day after day,
When it seems that, as geese, my joy has flown
To find warmth in the sun’s golden rays,
I’ll steal away to that familiar place
Where Your grace taught me praise in the light
I’ll sing You my song, declaring my trust
As You warm my soul through the night

Oh I will forever praise You
Finding joy in the words I bring
Always and only my soul finding breath 
in You, whose song I sing
