[chorus]  G, Am7, C, D, Dsus4

I waited

For the Lord on High

I waited

And He heard my cry



[verse 1]  Em, D/F#, G, Em, D/F#, C9 (2X) Dsus4

He took me out, out of despair

And showed my where to walk

From fear into security

From quicksand into the light



[verse 2]  Em, D/F#, G, Em, D/F#, C9 (2X) Dsus4

I sing to let the people know

That I have been restored

So they will kneel and understand

To return and trust in the Lord
