I waited, waited for the Lord He turned and heard my cry He drew me up from death's dark pit And set me safe on high He put a new song in my mouth A song of praise to God That those around may see and fear And come to trust the Lord How blessed the one who trusts the Lord And turns from other gods For You, O Lord, have done great things And there is none like You The wonders You have done for us Are far beyond compare I will proclaim with all my heart Your boundless, matchless grace In sacrifice and offering You do not take delight Yet You have opened up my ears That I may do what's right I said "O Lord, here I have come As written in the scroll My heart delights to do Your will Your word is in my soul." I'll praise Your grace and righteousness And glory in Your love My heart will sing and shout for joy I'll tell of all You've done Your mercy and Your faithfulness Endure for endless days My sins have overtaken me I rest upon Your grace O Lord, be pleased to save my soul Come quickly to my aid May those who seek to take my life Be turned aside in shame But may all those who seek Your face Proclaim "Our God is great" Though I am weak, my Lord is strong My God do not delay
