How long oh Lord,
Till my heart is whole
My prayer is heard
My joy is renewed
=========
How long oh Lord,
Till the pain subsides
The darkness lifts
Hope begins to rise
=========
How long oh Lord,
Till the people respond
The situation resolves
The redemption begins
=========
How long oh Lord,
Till I no longer yearn
I no longer wail
I receive satisfaction
=========
How long oh Lord, because
My mind is racing
My hear is bleeding
My spirit is longing
=========
How long Papa,
My strength is flagging
My prayers are struggling
My faith is fading
=========
How long Papa,
My grip is loosening
My hold is breaking
My desire is weakening
=========
How long Papa,
It feels like I am leaning on air
Walking in the dark
Hitting obstacles
=========
It feels like
I am carrying the weight of the world
Dragging a ship behind me
Crushed by a mountain
=========
It feels like
I am walking barefoot on glass
Pounded by hailstones
Freezing in mountain snow
=========
It feels like
I am walking on hot coals
Burning in the fire
Bound to a furnace
=========
How long Papa
Till You come for me
You send relief
You dent the path
=========
How long Papa
Till I hear Your voice
Know Your embrace
Heal in Your arms
=========
How long Papa
Till Your peace is mine
Your joy is my strength
Your grace is sufficient
=========
How long Papa
Till my feet are steady
My hope is unmovable
My life is a tapestry
My atmosphere is Yours
My assignment is on track
My story is true to You
How long Papa? How long?
===========
