"He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord" (Psalm 40:2,3). "The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.... For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:2,6).
Pulled from the pit and put on the Rock,
God gave us a new song of praise.
There's light in the shadow of death where we walk,
That shines through the darkest of days.
The Lord pulled us out of that horrible pit,
To give us His heavenly peace.
The people imprisoned, who in darkness sit,
Can find in His light their release.
How great is the light of each glorious name,
He shines on our heavenward path.
A Child was born, the Son of God came,
Delivering us from His wrath.
Wonderful, Counselor, and Our Mighty God,
The Source of our Life Everlasting,
Prince of our Peace, who bore judgment's rod:
Our crowns at Your feet we'll be casting.
For out of the horrible pit we were raised,
And set on the Rock of salvation.
Forever, O Lord, shall Your name be praised,
Redeemer and Lord of Creation!
