A song that spoke to me

This is a song by worship leader Hannah Ford that really spoke to me in my times of intercession lately:

~Psalm 40~
By Hannah Ford © 1999

Would you attend to this pain in my heart.
I won’t pretend that it’s not tearing me apart.
And my tears as they fall down mix with breaths of hope and joy,
To think you’ll use this time of brokenness to lift me up a stronger one.
To lift me up with a purer heart.

(chorus)
And I will wait patiently for you, Lord.
You turn and hear my heart’s cry.
You lift me out of the mire.
You set my feet upon the rock.

And you put a new song in my heart.
A hymn of praise to you, my God.
Many people will see and fear,
And put their trust in you.

Many, oh Lord, are the wonders you have done,
And the things you’ve planned for me, I trust, my words could never be sufficient.
But my troubles without number still surrounding me.
So many of them I can’t see. My heart is failing within me.
Do not from me withhold your mercy.

I desire to do your will, oh Lord.
I will not keep my mouth silent.
I will proclaim your righteousness.
In this life. Even in this pain, be exalted!

This is such my hearts cry!
