Lyrics 40 (Live 1994) by DC Talk

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

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

And I will sing, sing a new song
And I will sing, sing a new song, yeah

He placed my feet upon a rock
And made my footsteps firm
Many would see
Many would see and fear

And I will sing, sing a new song
And I will sing, sing a new song

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)

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

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!)

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)
