We have sung our songs of victory
We have prayed to You for rain
We have cried for 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?
How 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 stayed your hand of judgment
for your plan to set men free
But the land is still in darkness
and we fled from what is right
We have failed the silent children
who have never seen the light
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 weep
ing turns to songs of joy?
How long? How long?
But I know a day is coming
When the deaf will hear His voice
When the blind will see their Saviour
And the lame will leap for joy
When the 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 ra
diance lifts our eyes?
How long before your
fragrance fills the air?
How long before the earth resounds
with songs of joy?
Before your glory lights the skies?
How long before your radiance
lifts our eyes?
Before the earth resounds
with songs of joy,
we will dance, we will sing,
We will see it,
we will see the coming king
But I know the day is coming,
I know it's coming soon
When the devil hear his voice,
and the blind will see the saviour
And the lame are gonna run,
and the lame are gonna jump
They're gonna live for joy
They're gonna live for joy
Yeah, yeah
The glory fills the skies
The glory fills the skies
The glory fills the skies
How long, how long, how much longer?
