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
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 Explain Request ×
