This praise and worship song is inspired by Psalm chapter 40, a song of celebration proclaiming God's perpetual deliverance and the promise that He will always come through for us, no matter what.
I hope this song inspires and blesses you, as the message of patience, trust, foundation, salvation, praise and blessing, have inspired me again and again.
Please share this with whomever you think needs a reminder of our Lord's enduring love, steadfast deliverance and faithfulness.

Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
I was sinking deep
Mud and mire on my shoes
My heart was full of fear
My voice thin and bruised
I waited in the dark
You didn’t pass me by
You leaned down through the pain
And answered my cry
You reached down deep
And pulled me high
[Pre-Chorus]
You heard me
You listened
When I could barely speak
You found me
You caught me
Right there in the deep
[Chorus]
You heard my cry (cry!)
You pulled me up
You heard my cry
You filled my cup
I will wait on You
You heard my cry
And always stayed true
[Verse 2]
You set my feet on solid rock
You taught my legs to stand
Where shame told me to “stay down”
Your grace took hold of my hand
Now every scar can sing
Of mercy in the night
The One who rescued me
Will take me nigh
You reached down deep
And pulled me high
[Pre-Chorus]
You heard me
You listened
When I could barely speak
You found me
You saved me
Right there in the deep
[Chorus]
You heard my cry (hey!)
You pulled me up
You heard my cry
You filled my cup
I will wait on You (wait on You)
You heard my cry
And said “I will make you new”
[Bridge]
So I will not let go
Though the valley treads long
Your promise holds me fast
Your love makes me strong
I will trust Your hand
I will trust Your way
What You started in me
You will complete someday
I will trust Your way
What You started in me
You will complete someday
[Final Chorus]
You heard my cry
You pulled me up
You heard my cry
You filled my cup
I will wait on You!
You heard my cry (cry!)
You pulled me up
You heard my cry
I’m standing now
I will wait on You (I’ll wait on You)
You heard my cry (oh!)
I’m standing now
You heard my cry
You brought me out (brought me out!)
I will wait on You!
You heard my cry
And made me new
You heard my cry
And made me new!
