I waited patiently for the Lord; He inclined and heard my cry.
He brought me up out of a horrible pit; I shall remember to try.
He set my feet upon a rock; He established my trials way.
He put a song in my mouth; God knew that all will hear one day.
Praise unto our God; many shall see, and in our Lord trust.
For He has remembered our names; Praise to our God we must.
Many shall see in the Lord fear, and trust is divine; even today.
Many years have passed, but one day Jesus shall return to stay.
He shall stay with us until it’s His will to sweet heaven; we shall go.
Many are the wondrous works He hath done; in the sky and below.
Our mighty Lord and look at all the wondrous things He has done.
Then we should think of the Heaven, that through Him; have won.
Oh the evils that have compassed me about; my heart fails me.
My Lord has been pleased to deliver me; make haste that I may see.
Let them have shame and be confounded; my soul to destroy.
Let all that seek Thee rejoice gladness in Thee; In Thy Lord be joy.
Blessed is he that considers the poor; Our Lord shall bless; you see.
He is blessed upon the earth; God shall preserve thy soul and keep thee.
Heal my soul Lord, for I have sinned against Thee; whisper against me.
Make my soul proud Lord; Let me in Thy grace; to forever be…
All mighty God
We know Thou art almighty oh Lord, more than any wind or sea,
Thou art all Holy, in the kingly fashion, it ought always to be,
Mighty storms rage, tornados sweep a town away, like it was a fly,
But oh the power of my God, is mightier than these mountain standing by.
Come back to the Fathers fold, lean on Him today and every day,
He is the light of the world, He is, in the oceans of life, our mighty mainstay,
Though quakes come and bombs fall in the air every day of our life,
He is our All Might God, who can take away all the burdensome strife.
All Mighty God, stay in my heart, let the streams of life flow free and clear,
As we acknowledge Thee as our Savior and Redeemer year after year,
The hurricanes stir up the oceans, might in strength, and ardor there,
But we always know in our hearts, that we can call on Thee in Prayer.
Safely knowing you will be there, to take away the pain and fear,
For Thou art the Mighty God of our fathers, who were always standing near,
Keep us safe Oh my God, we know still waters runneth always deep,
And we know also that Thou art there to watch over Thy loving sheep,
Though the valleys are green and the mountains hard to climb for mere man,
We have pleasure in knowing our mighty and powerful Savior can,
He is my foundation, he is my stay in all things, He is my first love,
And I know, though powerful and giant things appear, so much more my God above.
