Bmsus Bmsus E A [over and over] (corrected)

i've waited patiently for the lord
he inclined and heard my cry
he lift me up out of the pit
out of the miry clay {"my reglade?"}

i will sing
sing a new song
i will sing
sing a new song

how long
to sing this song?

he set my feet upon a rock
made my footsteps firm
many will see
many will see and fear {hear?, feel?}

i will sing
sing a new song
i will sing
sing a new song

how long
to sing this song? ....
