The Lord Heard My Call
I waited patiently for the Lord to help me
He turned to me and heard my cry.
Then, the Lord lifted me out of the pit of
despair - He didn't let me perish or die.

He set my feet on solid ground and steadied
me as each new day came along.
The Lord has given me another start - He pulled
me out of the mud and let me sing a new song.

Many will see what the Lord has done for me
they will not believe it - they will be astounded!
Some will put their trust in the Lord, their joy will
be great as they are by the Lord's love surrounded.

Oh! The joys of those who trust in the Lord and put no
confidence in those who are self important and proud.   
Yes, I prayed to the Lord and He saved me
from the maddening crowd!
