How Long?


How long till the orphan’s cry will no longer be heard?
How long till the widow’s grief will finally be deferred?
How long till God’s justice  like a mighty river  rolls?
How long until righteousness like an endless stream shall flow?

How long oh Lord?
How long oh Lord?

When shall our deliverance come from the presence of sin?
How long till we enter into a peace that never shall end?
How long till there’ll be no suffering and tears are wiped away?
How long till we leave this world and see that glorious day?

How long oh Lord?
How long oh Lord?

How long till we do justly and love mercy?
How long till our haughty hearts walk humbly?

How long till the devil with his demons are cast down?
How long till your kingdom comes and we all cast our crowns?
How long till that glorious day arrives for which we have waited?
When your great redemption will  be fully  consummated 

How long oh Lord?
How long oh Lord?
How long oh Lord?
How long oh Lord?
