Lyrics below the video
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Praise to You, my precious God.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I waited for the Lord my God,
and patiently did bear;
At length to me He did incline
my voice and cry to hear.
He took me from a fearful pit,
and from the miry clay,
And on a rock He set my feet,
establishing my way.
He put a new song in my mouth,
our God to magnify:
Many shall see it, and shall fear,
and on the Lord rely.
O blessed is the man whose trust
upon the Lord relies;
Respecting not the proud, nor such
as turn aside to lies.
