Lord, we’re waiting patiently.
To us, dear Lord, stoop down.
Lift us from destruction’s pit.
In this mire, let us not drown.

Our steps now seem so shaky.
We need steps sure and firm.
Put a new song in our hearts.
For Your truth may we yearn.

Lord, we are afflicted.
Deliver us from all distress.
We turn to You as our sure help.
Increase our faithfulness.

Go to our loved ones now Lord.
They know not Your steady ways.
Help loved ones embrace Your teachings.
Help them, dear Lord, today.

(Based on Psalm 40)
