How Long Lyrics

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 Your righteous hand

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 Petra - How Long - http://motolyrics.com/petra/how-long-lyrics.html

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
