How long, O Lord?
Will You forget about me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?
How long will it be just me talking to myself
With this sorrow in my heart?
Lord, I'm asking, how long?
How, Lord, how long
Will my enemies triumph over me?
Lord, look on me and answer oh my God
Lord, give light to my eyes that I may see
Or I will sleep the sleep of death
And then they'll say they've won
Don't let the Devil rejoice in the day that I am shaken
Lord, I'm asking, I'm asking how long?
Lord, I'm asking, I'm asking how long?
Yet I trust in Your unfailing love
And my heart rejoices in Your salvation
I will sing because the Lord has been so good to me!
Yes I trust in Your unfailing love
And my heart rejoices in Your salvation
I will sing because the Lord has been so good to me...
For I don't know how long, I don't know how long!
But it goes on and on and on...
O how long, how wide
How broad, how high is the love of God?
I don't know how long!
But it goes on, and on, and on
O how long!
O how long
O how long!
