We have sung the songs of victory,we have prayed to You for rain,
Em9Am9Dm/F#Gm
We have cried for Your Compassion, to renew the land again;
Bm7GmDm/F#Gm
Now we're standing in Your presence, more hungry than before,
Em9Am9Dm/F#Gm
Now we're on Your steps of mercy, and we're knocking at Your door.
Bm7GmDm/F#
How long, before You drench the barren land,
Am4AmEm9Bm7
How long, before we see Your righteous hand;
Am9Dm9GmDm/F#
How long, before Your name is lifted right,
Am4AmEm9Bm7Am9Dm9
How long, before the weeping turns to songs of joy.

Bm7GmDm/F#Gm
Lord, we know Your heart is broken, by the evil that You see,
Em9Am4AmDm/F#Gm
And You've stayed Your hand of judgment, for You plan to set men free;
Bm7GmDm/F#Gm
But the land is still in darkness, and we've fled from what is rigth,
Em9Am4AmDm/F#Gm
We have failed the silent children, who have never seen the ligth.
Dm9GmDm/F#
How long, before You drench the barren land,
Am4AmEm9Bm7
How long, before we see Your righteous hand;
Am9Dm9GmDm/F#
How long, before Your name is lifted right,
Am4AmEm9Bm7Am9Dm9
How long, before the weeping turns to songs of joy.

But a Know a day is coming, when the deaf will hear his voice,
Fm9A#m4A#mD#m/GG#m
When the blind will see their Saviour, and the lame will leap for joy;
Cm7G#mD#m/GG#m
When the widow finds a husband, who will always love his bride,
Fm9A#m4A#mD#m/GG#m
And the orphan finds a father, who will never leave her side.

How long, before Your fragance fills the air,
A#m4A#mFm9Cm7
How long, before the earth resounds with song.
