This song is from a psalm (“to You, Oh Lord I lift up my soul...”). It is one of my favorite songs to sing in front of people. No one expects a slight wail during the chorus so that is always a little fun to sing.
Here are the lyrics:
To You oh Lord I lift my soul
Oh my God in You I trust
Let me not be put to shame
You’ve crowned me with Your righteousness
For none who wait for You
Will be put to shame
Your mercy flows from of old
To those who call upon Your name
So I wait, I wait, I wait
Wait for You
Make me know Your paths Oh Lord
Teach me Your ways
Blot my sin, remember not
And I will never cease to praise
