Crying Help
I wait patiently for the Lord,
As He inclines to hear my cry;
I know that I am not ignored,
While giving a mournful sigh.
The Lord drew me up from the pit,
Destruction of the miry bog;
Though I am not righteously fit,
He pulled me from the mirky fog.
The Lord set me upon a rock,
Ensuring my steps were secure;
Established goings where I walk,
Gave me confidence to assure.
He put a new song on my tongue,
A song of praise to our God;
Many see and fear what was flung,
But I trust to honor and laud.
Bless the man who has made the Lord,
Who trusts and turns away from pride;
Certain to walk in one accord,
Avoiding those who stray and lied.
His wondrous deeds have multiplied,
No others will ever compare;
Both content and as satisfied,
With everything that He does share.
I will tell others and proclaim,
Yet they are more than can be told;
Praising with glory to His name,
And worth more than silver and gold.
