How Long Will We Wait?

Verse 1

How long will we wait O Lord?

How long til we see your power?

We see this world turn cold and hostile

Disparaging your love and mercy

How long shall injustice rule?

How much must the church endure?

The worldly powers grow ever darker

Persecuting faithful servants

Pre-Chorus 1

But you - you’re still working
Changing hearts you build Your church
and miracles abound

Chorus

We come together with one heart and soul
Sharing, we're Building a community of faith
Praying
"O Lord, revive our nation
Let all who dwell here seek your face
Revive our nation
Let seekers all find joy and peace"

Verse 2

This story's gone before

Woven though the church

First written in the holy scripture

witnessed then throughout our history

Where people seek your face

Confessing sin, they pray

That darkness shall concede to light

Your purposed dawn replace the night

Pre-Chorus 2

You hold the earth

You desire that all are saved
Your gospel preached to all

Verse 3

How long will you tarry Lord?
How long must we wait for you?

Revival sweeps away the darkness

Jesus' light comes flooding in

A city on a hill
appealing to the lost

Where justice flows like mighty rivers

We long to see your kingdom coming in

Pre-Chorus 3

But you - you’re still working
Changing hearts you build Your church
and miracles abound
You hold the earth
You desire that all are saved
Your gospel preached to all
