Forty
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I waited patiently for the Lord
He inclined and heard my cry
He brought me up out of my pit
Out of the miry clay
And I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song, yeah
How long to sing this song
How long to sing this song
How long, how long, how long, how long
To sing this song
He placed my feet upon this rock
He made my footsteps so firm
Many could see, many could see and fear
And I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song, yeah
How long to sing this song
How long to sing this song
How long, how long, how long, how long
To sing this song
