lyrics

Lord, how long? Lord, how long?
Will You always hide Your face from me?
In the silence of the darkness
And the anguish of my destiny

How long must I wrestle?
How long must raise my voice?
Wasting away my breath, dreading the day of death
How long will my enemy triumph over me?

Lord, how long? Is it wrong
To want a glimmer so that I can see
Give an answer, any answer
Have you forgotten what you promised me?

How long must I wrestle?
How long must I raise my voice?
Rolling my eyes to and fro,
Wondering why You move so slowly when You know
My heart is melting away

Be a light for my eyes are dim
And my enemy is saying, "I have overcome him"
And my foes will rejoice when I fall

But I trust in Your salvation
I remember all You've done for me
I recall all Your thoughts unto me
