I Waited For the Lord and He Heard My Cry

I waited patiently for the Lord,
 and he heard my cry…
He answered; “ALL of your needs… 
 I shall supply!”

He brought me out of the pit… 
 And the miry clay.
He set my feet…  On a solid rock to stay!

He put a new song in my mouth
 and praise to the Lord…
As I see more of God… 
 My faith has been restored!

Blessed is he who, in the
 Lord, puts his trust.
Serving and loving HIM…  I know that I must!

 I think of the mighty things
 he has already done…
From the early morning,
  till the setting of the sun..

I could speak of your great works. 
They are more than I can remember.
Your splendor and majesty
shine today and forever!

I shall be eternally grateful 
for his love extended…
You’ve forgiven all of my sins… 
 And are to be commended!

You, oh my God, are holy, loving
 and very kind.
Your promises shall always 
stand the test of time!

Thank you!  For  what  you’ve done…
 And so much more!
You truly are awesome!  
And are worth living for!!!
