GC 49 - Psalm 40: Here I Am - Rory Cooney
Lyrics
Refrain
Here I am, Lord, here I am.
I come to do your will.
Here I am, Lord, here I am.
I come to do your will.
Verse 1
Long was I waiting for God
and then he heard my cry.
It was he who taught this song to me,
a song of praise to God.
Verse 2
You asked me not for sacrifice,
for slaughtered goats or lambs.
No, my heart, you gave me ears to hear you,
then I said, "Here I am."
Verse 3
You wrote it in the scrolls of law
what you would have me do.
Doing that is what has made me happy,
your law is in my heart.
Verse 4
I spoke before your holy people,
the good news that you save.
Now you know that I will not be silent.
I'll always sing your praise.
