[Verse] He spit me from death's mouth I was lost in my sin As if darkness were my skin But then when it was really over [Verse 2] A great light shone in It pulled me by the hair No earthly rescue could compare Then I was washed upon the shore [Chorus] My soul blesses the Lord My soul blesses the Lord My soul blesses the Lord My soul blesses the Lord [Bridge] My soul My soul My soul blesses the Lord (My soul) My soul My soul My soul blesses the Lord (My soul) [Verse 3] I brought this on myself I was far too proud to die Thought my ships knew how to sail But He dropped me in [Verse 4] The great deep is a land Of profoundest emptiness Kicked me out with His fish Raised me with His hand [Chorus] My soul blesses the Lord My soul blesses the Lord My soul blesses the Lord
