I was waiting for the Lord He was kind and heard my cry He drew me up from the mud Gave my feet a place to dry He has made my steps secure He has given me new ground I find my soul welling up As to sing him a new song Oh the joys of those who trust in the Lord Oh the joys of those who trust in the Lord I will shout out to the world Come and see what he has done There is none that can compare He will never be outdone Oh the joys of those who trust in the Lord Oh the joys of those who trust in the Lord There's a word you set in me And this word says of me Yeah there's a word you set in me That I delight I delight in the Lord I will praise him all my days I am here as one in need To all those who seek his face Know the Lord takes thought for me
