40 (Live 1994)

Lyrics

[Intro: TobyMac] Tell you what Make a deal with you We, uh… One more—one more song on the acoustic set and, I promise you, the jam will continue Forgive us but this is our favorite part of the show Alright A young man named David wrote most of the Psalms The guys on this stage, we relate to David Because David was a musician David was a song-writer Or maybe because David danced before the Lord But I think the thing that we most admire about David and the thing that the guys on this stage aspire to be… Is that David was a man aftеr God's own heart David stumbled and fell Wе all know the story Up on the rooftop He didn't have it all together So, you're not alone when you mess up He was still the only man called "a man after God's own heart" The 40th—the 40th Psalm of David says this: "I waited patiently for the Lord And He inclined to me and heard my cry He brought me up out of a horrible pit Out of the miry clay He set my feet up on a rock And established my steps He has put a new song in my mouth Praise to our God For many will see it and fear And will trust in our Lord" This is called "40" Lyrics by King David [Verse 1: Kevin Max] I waited patiently for the Lord He inclined and heard my cry He brought me up out of that pit Out of the miry clay [Refrain: Kevin Max & Michael Tait, Kevin Max] And I will sing, sing a new song And I will sing, sing a new song, yeah [Verse 2: Michael Tait, Michael Tait & Kevin Max] He placed my feet upon a rock And made my footsteps firm Many would see Many would see and fear [Refrain: Michael Tait & Kevin Max, Michael Tait] And I will sing, sing a new song And I will sing, sing a new song [Chorus: Kevin Max & Michael Tait, Kevin Max, Michael Tait] How long to sing this song? How long to sing this song? How long? How long? How long? How long to sing this song? (Whoa-oa, yeah-eah) [Verse 3: Kevin Max, Kevin Max & Michael Tait] And I will enter His gates with thanksgiving in my heart I will enter His courts with praise And I will say this is the day that the Lord has made I will rejoice for He has made me glad [Refrain: Michael Tait & Kevin Max, Michael Tait, Kevin Max] And I will sing, sing a new song And I will sing, sing a new song And I will sing, sing a new song And I will sing, sing a new song (Ooh, yeah! Sing!) [Chorus: Kevin Max & Michael Tait, Kevin Max, Michael Tait] How long to sing this song? How long to sing this song? How long? How long? How long? How long to sing this song? (Ooh, oh-oh, yeah-eah) [Interlude: Kevin Max] Alright, Detroit We want you to sing with us, okay?
