I Waited For the Lord

Psalm 40:1-3

Bill Batstone

   D  Em  G  A          D       Em  G  A
I waited       for the Lord on high,
   D  Em  G/D          A        D  Em  G  A
I waited      and He heard my cry.  (end)

    Bm               D
He pulled me out of my despair
     Bm                G
He showed me where to walk
      Bm          D
From fear unto security
       Bm            G
From quicksand to a rock.

           D   Em  G  A          D       Em  G  A
There’s a new song       in my heart to sing,
   D   Em  G          A       D    Em  G  A
A new song,  praises for the King.

      Bm              D
I’ll sing to let the people know
     Bm              G
That I have been restored
  Bm                D
They will kneel and understand
      Bm                    G
To return and trust in the Lord.
