HOW LONG 2 14 10
How long must I wait for you to bring me peace
How long must I wait til you show me the next step
How long must I walk in darkness, before you show me the light
As long as I am living I will wait upon your timing
As long as you are God, I know there is hope
As long as your kingdom stands I will stand in anticipation
How is it that there are trials in my life, that draw me away from you
How is it that I have been so blind, to the love that you’ve shown me
How is it that there have been times that I’ve wandered in the desert
Searching for living water, and then refusing to drink of the everlasting stream
How is it that there are many things I try to understand on my own
While forgetting I don’t need to comprehend everything that you do
So often I forget you are my strength
So often I forget you are my deliverer
So often I discard what you’ve promised
So often I refuse to listen to your beckoning me to come
So often I feel ashamed of what I’ve done before you
So often I forget that you will forgive me
It’s so hard to see that you’ll provide your healing
When my heart is shattered, when my soul is torn
It’s so hard to see that you know what is best
When I don’t understand how anything could possibly be better
It’s so hard to trust on your timing
In a world that wants things to happen now
