My heart was distressed beneath the Lord's dread frown,
Verse 1
My heart was distressed beneath the Lord's dread frown, And low in the pit where my sins dragged me down; I cried to the Lord from the deep miry clay, Who tenderly brought me out to golden day.
Chorus
He brought me out of the miry clay, He set my feet on the Rock to stay; He puts a song in my soul today, A song of praise, Hallelujah!
Verse 2
He placed me upon the strong Rock by His side, My steps were established and here I'll abide; No danger of falling while here I remain, But stand by His grace until the crown I gain.
Chorus
He brought me out of the miry clay, He set my feet on the Rock to stay; He puts a song in my soul today, A song of praise, Hallelujah!
