\n<\/strong>I wait patiently for the Lord
\nFor he hears my cry
\nHe lifts me out of the slimy pit
\nOut of the mud and mire
\nHe sets my feet on a rock and gives me a firm place to stand
\nHe outs a new hymn of praise in my mouth
\nAll praise be to our God
\nBased on Psalm 40<\/em><\/p>\n
\nbuilt my life upon,
\nall this world reveres,
\nand wars to own,
\nall I once thought gain
\nI have counted loss:
\nspent and worthless now,
\ncompared to this:
\nChorus: Knowing You, Jesus,
\nknowing You,
\nthere is no greater thing.
\nYou’re my all
\nYou’re the best,
\nYou’re my joy, my righteousness
\nand I love You, Lord.<\/p>\n
\nis to know You more,
\nto be found in You
\nand known as Yours,
\nto possess by faith
\nwhat I could not earn<
\nall-surparsing gift
\nof righteousness.<\/p>\n
\nof Yor risen life,
\nand to know You in
\nYour sufferings,
\nto become like You
\nin Your death, my Lord,
\nso with You to live
\nand never die,<\/p>\n
\nThat the world has ever, ever known
\nDeeper that the deep sea
\nIs the love that only God has shown
\nHigher than a rocket up in space
\nWider than the total human race
\nGod\u2019s love is the best love
\nThat the world has ever, ever
\nWill ever, ever know<\/p>\n
\n<\/sup>He said: \u2018In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea,\u00a0\u201cGrant me justice against my adversary.\u201d
\n\u2018For some time he refused. But finally, he said to himself,
\n\u201cEven though I don\u2019t fear God or care what people think,\u00a0yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won\u2019t eventually come and attack me!\u201d\u2019
\nAnd the Lord said,\u00a0\u2018Listen to what the unjust judge says.
\nAnd will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off?
\nI tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly.
\nHowever, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?\u2019<\/p>\n
\nin the light of His word,
\nwhat a glory He sheds on our way!
\nWhile we do His good will,
\nHe abides with us still,
\nand with all who will trust and obey.
\nChorus: Trust and Obey
\nfor there’s no other way
\nto be happy in Jesus,
\nbut to trust and obey.<\/p>\n
\nnot a cloud in the skies,
\nbut His smile quickly drives it away;
\nnot a doubt nor a fear,
\nnot a sigh nor a tear,
\ncan abide while we trust and obey.<\/p>\n
\nnot a sorrow we share,
\nbut our toil He doth richly repay;
\nnot a grief nor a loss,
\nnot a frown or a cross,
\nbut is blest if we trust and obey.<\/p>\n
\nthe delights if His love,
\nuntil all on the alter we lay;
\nfor the favour He shows,
\nand the joys He bestows
\nare for them who will trust and obey.<\/p>\n
\nwe will sit at His feet,
\nor we’ll walk by His side in the way,
\nWhat He says we will do,
\nwhere He sends we will go,
\nnever fear, only trust and obey.<\/p>\n
\nall our sins and grief to bear!
\nWhat a privilege to carry
\neverything to God in prayer!
\nO what peace we often forfeit
\nO what needless pain we bear
\nall because we do not carry
\neverything to God in Prayer!<\/p>\n
\nIs there trouble anywhere?
\nWe should never be discouraged:
\ntake it to the Lord in prayer!
\nCan we find a friend so faithful
\nwho will all our sorrows share?
\nJesus knows our every weakness
\ntake it to the Lord in prayer!<\/p>\n
\ncumbered with a load of care?
\nPrecious saviour, still our refuge!
\ntake it to the Lord in prayer!
\nDo thy friends despise, forsake you?
\ntake it to the Lord in prayer!
\nIn His arms He’ll take and shield thee,
\nthou wilt find a solace there.<\/p>\n
\nand put your armour on,
\nstring in the strength which God supplies
\nthrough His Eternal Son.
\nStrong in the Lord of hosts,
\nand in His mighty power.
\nwho in the strength of Jesus trusts
\nis more than conqueror.<\/p>\n
\nwith all His strength endued;
\nand take, to arm you for the fight,
\nthe panoply of God:
\nto keep your armour bright,
\nattend with constant care,
\nstill walking in your Captain’s sight
\nand watching unto prayer.<\/p>\n
\nwrestle and fight and pray,
\ntread all the powers of darkness down
\nand win the well-fought day.
\nThat, having all things done,
\nand all your conflicts past,
\nye may o’ercome through Christ alone,
\nand stand entire at last.<\/p>\n
