Tell
me how long has it been
Since you've felt this touch within?
Is your heart still open to
His love?
In your quiet time alone
Can your prayers reach the throne?
Has it been so long you're afraid to call
But
He's there,
He's always been
He is waiting, still waiting
He's giving us time to come on in
What a loving, caring friend
Come on,
He's waiting, still calling
How long has it been?
Ohh...
How long has it been?
Now isn't it good for you to know
There's a place that we can go
While others search
their whole lifetime
They trust in things that
have an end
Only on you we can depend
But has it been so long
you're afraid to call
But he's there, he's always been
I know that
He's waiting, still waiting
He's given us time, so come on in
What a loving, caring friend
Come on,
He's waiting, still calling
How long has it
been?
How long has it been?
Oh what a kind and com
passionate friend
He keeps on giving,
he keeps on giving to you
And you don't give back to him
What does it take?
What does it take to get this mes
sage through to you?
Can't you see him waiting?
He's waiting, waiting just for you
I know he's waiting
He's waiting just for you
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Can't you see him standing there
He's reaching out to you
Reaching out
Waiting for you
Whoa,
He's waiting just for you
Hey
He's standing there
He's got his arms open wide
I'm waiting for you
Reaching out
Standing there waiting for you
Standing there
Waiting just for you
How long has it been?
How long has it been?
you
