Lyrics:

1. I waited patiently for the Lord.
He inclined and heard my cry.
He lift me up out of the pit,
out of the miry clay.

Refrain: I will sing, sing a new song (2x)
How long to sing this song? (2x)
How long (X4) to sing this song?

2. He set my feet upon a rock,
made my footsteps firm.
Many will see.
many will see and hear. Refrain
