Poor Bishop Hooper
Psalm 40
[Verse 1]
I waited patiently upon the Lord
I waited patiently for You
And He inclined and heard my cry
And He inclined and heard my cry
He brought me up from the despairing pit
He brought me out of my destruction
Out of the mud and of the mire

[Refrain]
He set my feet upon a rock, making
My footsteps firm, my footsteps firm
And He has given me a new song to sing
A song of praise to Him, a song of praise to Him

[Verse 1]
How blessed is the man who trusts the Lord
Who hasn't turned around in falsehood
Many the wonders of Your hand
Many the wonders of Your hand
Oh, take Your very thoughts toward us, God
And if I would try to recite them
There's no way I could find the end

[Refrain]
Offering and sacrifice
Are not what You desire, they're not what You desire
For You have given me an open ear
To what You require, to what You require
[Pre-Chorus]
You said (You said)
Behold I come
Just as (Just as)
Just as it is written
You said (You said)
Behold I come
Just as (Just as)
Just as it is written
You said (And You said)
Behold I come
Just as (Just as)
Just as it is written

[Chorus]
And I take joy in doing Your will, my God
I take joy in doing Your will, my God
And I take joy in doing Your will, my God
And I take joy in doing Your will, my God
