This song from Sovereign Grace based on Psalm 13 is song I’m sure we have all felt at times. How long will the Lord not answer us? How long will the evil in our midst continue to have the upper hand? How long will we suffer? But just like David in this Psalm, it’s important we reach the truth that will keep us until Jesus returns for us, or we return to him: “But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me.” Enjoy this one!
O Lord, our God, to You we come
Will You still hide Your face?
We cry before You and on our knees we pray
How long, O Lord, how long?
Our sorrows leave us weak and worn
Surrounded by our fears
We look to heaven through feeble faith and tears
How long, O Lord, how long?
Refrain
Till Your glory fills our eyes,
And our faith is turned to sight.
Till our thirsty souls are satisfied
How long, O Lord, how long?
Our foes and enemies rejoice
Injustice seems to reign.
Lord, we are shaken and we are losing strength;
How long, O Lord, how long?
Refrain
But we will trust Your steadfast love,
Your grace will be our song.
You bring new mercies with ev’ry rising sun;
How long, O Lord, how long?
Refrain
