How Long

We have Amsung our songs of Fvictory, we have C/Emprayed to You for Frain;

We have Dmcried for Your comG/Bmpassion to reC/Emnew the land aFgain.

Now we're Amstanding in Your Fpresence, more C/Emhungry than beFfore;

Now we're Dmon Your steps of G/Bmmercy, and we're C/Emknocking at Your Fdoor

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
