40

I waited patiently for the Lord
He included and heard my cry
He brought me up out of the pit
Out of the miry clay

I waited patiently for the Lord;
And He inclined to me and heard my cry.
He brought me up out of the pit...
out of the miry clay. Psalm 40:1-2 NASB
You set my feet upon a rock
And made my footsteps firm
Many will see, many will see and​ hear
And He set my feet upon a rock making my footsteps firm...
Many will see and fear. Psalm 40:2-3 NASB
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing
a new song
He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Psalm 40:3 NIV
 
Reach down your hand from on high; deliver me and rescue me from the mighty waters…. I will sing a new song to you, my God; on the ten-stringed lyre I will make music to you. Psalm 144:7-9 NIV

How long to sing this song?
How long to sing this song?
How long, how long, how long
How long to sing this song?
My soul is in deep anguish. How long, Lord, how long? Psalm 6:3 NIV
