LYRICS
VERSE 1
How long, O Lord,
Will you turn your face away from me?
How long, O Lord,
Will your presence be a memory?
How long, O Lord, how long?
VERSE 2
How long, O Lord,
Will those who wound me be allowed?
How long, O Lord,
Will confusion dare my soul to doubt?
How long, O Lord, how long?
REFRAIN
Lord, hear my cry;
Free me from fear.
My soul runs dry;
Consider my prayer,
O, Lord.
INSTRUMENTAL INTERLUDE
VERSE 3
I will go beyond what I feel,
and trust in what I know;
A new day will dawn,
So, among the thistle I will grow,
In grace, O Lord, your grace.
VERSE 4
My heart will trust,
In your enduring love for me;
I will drink this cup,
For I know you have dealt bountifully,
with me, O Lord, my God.
REFRAIN 2
You have heard my cry,
My broken soul, restored.
I will glori-fy,
Your name forever-more,
O, Lord.
