I waited patiently
For the Lord most high
He turned His ear to me
And He heard my cry
Your starting works for me
I multiply
Oh they multiply
You put a new song in my mouth
A song of praise
Set my feet upon a rock
Out of the miry clay
Oh You have raised me up
I stand amazed
And my song will ever be
Your name
Ooh Your name
I waited patiently
For the Lord most high
He turned His ear to me
And he heard my cry
Your starting works for me
I multiply
Oh they multiply
You put a new song in my mouth
A song of praise
Set my feet upon a rock
Out of the miry clay
Oh You have raised me up
I stand amazed
And my song will ever be
Your name
Ooh Your name
Oh Your name is honey
Oon my lips
Your name is vision
For my steps
Your name is water
To my soul
The sweetest name I've ever known
Your name is honey
Oon my lips
Your name is vision
For my steps
Your name is water
To my soul
The sweetest name I've ever known
You put a new song in my mouth
A song of praise
Set my feet upon a rock
Out of the miry clay
Oh You have raised me up
I stand amazed
And my song will ever be
Your name
You put a new song in my mouth
A song of praise
Set my feet upon a rock
Out of the miry clay
Oh You have raised me up
I stand amazed
And my song will ever be
Your name
Your name
Your name
