Responsive Reading (Psalm 40:1-3, 5a)
(L) I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry.
(C) He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire;
(L) He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
(C) He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.
(L) Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord.
(C) Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders you have done.
(L) The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare.

You alone are my heart's desire, and I long to worship Thee.

I love You more than any other, so much more than anything.
You alone are my heart's desire, and I long to worship Thee.

You alone are the real joy giver and the apple of my eye.
