How Long |
| We have sung our songs of victory |
| We have prayed to you for rain |
| We have cried your compassion |
| To renew the land again |
| Now we’re standing in your presence |
| More hungry than before |
| Now we’re on your steps of mercy and we’re knocking at your door |
| How long |
| Before you drench the barren land |
| How long |
| Before we see a righteous man |
| How long |
| Before your name is lifted high |
| How long |
| Before the weeping turns to songs of joy |
| Lord, we know your heart is broken |
| By the evil that you see |
| And you’ve stayed your hand of judgment |
| For your plan to set men free |
| But the land is still in darkness |
| And we’ve fled from what is right |
| And we’ve failed the silent children |
| Who will never see the light |
| But I know a day is coming |
| When the deaf will hear his voice |
| When the blind will see the savior |
| And the lame will leap for joy |
| When a widow finds a husband |
| Who will always love his bride |
| And the orphan finds a father |
| Who will never leave her side |
| How long |
| Before your glory lights the skies |
| How long |
| Before your radiance lifts our eyes |
| How long |
| Before your fragrance fills the air |
| How long |
| Before the earth resounds with songs of joy |
