HOW LONG, O LORD

resources

VERSE 1
O God, who hears our prayers

When will your kingdom come?

With souls weighed down with cares

We call to you alone

Our path is dimmed by tears

Our world cries out in pain

We long for heaven’s peace

Deliver us, again.

CHORUS

How Long, O Lord, till you make things right?

How Long, O Lord, till our faith is sight?

How Long, O Lord, till your kingdom comes?

Lord Jesus, come

​

VERSE 2

When will the sick be healed?

When will our sadness end?

When will your light reveal

The beauty of your plan?

When will our hatred cease?

When will your justice reign?

When will your enemies

Revere your holy name?

VERSE 3

You surely know our grief

Our sorrows you endured

Your Spirit intercedes

With groans too deep for words

Now make us sure in hope

Steadfast until the end

We wait upon you, Lord

And trust your sovereign hand
