I sat in the darkness of the pit;
The blackness of my sin,
Swamped in my iniquity.
No way out and no way in.
I could not stand, for beneath my feet
Was a mass of slippery clay.
In my many trials and struggles,
I saw not, the light of day.
I cried out to the heavens above,
To my Father and my Lord.
He listened to my pleading cries,
Kept the promises in His word.
He reached down into that pit,
And took me in His arms,
He set me on a sturdy rock
I knew I'd not be harmed.
A song He gave me, in my mouth,
A new song in my heart.
I knew that He had saved me
Now, we'd never be apart!
That man who makes the Lord his trust
Blessings will abound,
Peace and joy and happiness
In him, will be found.
