Early in 2011, I went on a Torah Ladies Retreat organised by my dear friend Donna Edwards. It was a lovely weekend and I wrote the music to these words from Psalm 40 as I was sitting on a couch there on the last morning of the retreat. Sun streamed through the window as I read through the words of this Psalm and a new song indeed rose in my heart and mouth.

Verse One:
I waited patiently for Yah
He turned to me and heard my cry
He lifted me out of the pit
He set my feet on a rock
Gave me a firm place to stand
He put a new song in my mouth
Many will see and fear and put their trust in Him
Many will see and put their trust in Yehovah
Many Oh Yah
Are the wonders you have done
The things you have planned
no one can recount to you
And were I to speak
and tell of them
and tell of them
They would be too many
to declare
to declare
Chorus Two:
And I desire to do your will Oh Yah
Your Torah is within my heart
