“40” (Songs Of Surrender) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I waited patiently for the Lord
He inclined and heard my cry
He lifted me up out of the pit
Out of the miry clay

[Pre-Chorus]
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song

[Chorus]
How long to sing this song?
How long to sing this song?
How long, how long, how long
How long to sing this song?

[Verse 2]
You set my feet upon a rock
Made my footsteps firm
Many will see
Many will see and hear

[Pre-Chorus]
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
[Chorus]
How long to sing this song?
How long to sing this song?
How long, how long, how long
How long to sing this song?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
