He Heard My Cry

Verse 1:

I waited patiently for the Lord

He inclined and heard my cry

He brought me up from the miry clay

Set my feet on the rock so high

He established my steps with His hand

Put a new song in my soul

A song of praise to my saving God

Whose mercy makes me whole

Chorus:

He heard my cry, He lifted me

Out of the pit of despair so deep

Now I will sing, I will believe

In the wonders of His love so sweet

Many shall see and trust in Him

The Lord, my strength, my truest friend

Forever I'll loudly proclaim

He heard my cry — Bless His holy name.

Verse 2:

Blessed is the one who trusts the Lord

Not turned aside to pride

Your wondrous works and thoughts for us

Are more than tongues can describe

Sacrifice and offering You desired not

But opened my ears to obey

I said, “Behold, I come, O Lord”

Your will is now my way

Chorus

He heard my cry, He lifted me

Out of the pit of despair so deep

Now I will sing, I will believe

In the wonders of His love so sweet

Many shall see and trust in Him

The Lord, my strength, my truest friend

Forever I'll loudly proclaim

He heard my cry — Bless His holy name

Bridge:

I have not hid Your righteousness

Within my heart, it's known

Your faithfulness and salvation

I will make fully shown

Let all who seek rejoice in You

And magnify Your name

Though I am poor and needy, Lord

You think on me the same

Chorus

He heard my cry, He lifted me

Out of the pit of despair so deep

Now I will sing, I will believe

In the wonders of His love so sweet

Many shall see and trust in Him

The Lord, my strength, my truest friend

Forever I'll loudly proclaim

He heard my cry — Bless His holy name
