How long, will you turn your face away?
How long, do you hear us when we pray?
On and on, still we walk this pilgrim way
How long?
How long, till your children find the rest?
How long, till you draw them to your breast?
We go on, holding to your promises
How long?
Till you wipe away the tears from every eye
Till we see our home descending from the sky
Do we wait in vain?
Jesus, give us hope again
How long, till your word will still the storm?
How long, till you bare your mighty arm?
How we grow, till you snatch us from the thorns
How long?
Till you wipe away the tears from every eye
Till we see our home descending from the sky
Do we wait in vain?
Jesus, give us hope again
Amen, Jesus, Come
Amen, Jesus, Come
Amen, Jesus, Come
Amen, Jesus Come
Amen, Jesus Come
