Year C: Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time

[Chorus]
Am G Am/C Dm C/E Em F G
Lord, come to my aid!

[Verse 1]
C Em
I waited, waited for the Lord
F/A G
and he stooped toward me;

[Verse 2]
C
The Lord heard my cry
Em
He drew me out of the pit of destruction,
F G
Out of mud of the swamp;
C Em
He set my feet upon a crag;
F/A G
He made firm my steps.

[Verse 3]
C Em
And He put a new song into my mouth,
F G
a hymn to our God.
C Em
Many shall look on in awe
F/A G
and trust in the Lord.

[Verse 4]
C Em
Though I am afflicted and poor,
F G
Yet the Lord thinks of me.
C Em
You are my help and my deliverer;
F/A G
O my God, hold not back!
