Album: Under A Blood Red Sky
Song: 40

(sing this with me, this is 40)


I waited patiently for the lord
He inclined and heard my cry
He lift me up out of the pit
Out of the mire and clay


I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song


How long to sing this song?
How long to sing this song?
How long...how long...how long...
How long...to sing this song


He set my feet upon a rock
And made my footsteps firm
Many will see
Many will see and hear


I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song


(sing it!)


How long to sing this song?
How long to sing this song?
How long...how long...how long...
How long...to sing this song


(thank you. good night)
