“40” Lyrics
[Intro]
Two, three, four
[Verse 1]
I waited patiently for the Lord
He inclined and heard my cry
He brought me up out of the pit
Out of the miry clay
[Pre-Chorus]
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
[Chorus]
How long to sing this song?
How long to sing this song?
How long, how long, how long
How long to sing this song?
[Verse 2]
You set my feet upon a rock
And made my footsteps firm
Many will see
Many will see and fear
[Pre-Chorus]
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
[Chorus]
How long to sing this song?
How long to sing this song?
How long, how long, how long
How long to sing this song?
