How Long Lord

I live from day to day
But when each day is done
I dream of better things
Of promises to come

You said that I would live
Through all eternity
But You would go to first
Prepare a place for me

In my mind
I can see the halls of Heaven
And they shine
Bright with Heaven's glow
So let me go

How long, Lord
Will You keep us waiting
How long, Lord
Until You take us home
How long, Lord
Can't You hear us praying
When will the time be
Of your coming
For Your own

We walk a painful road
But, Lord, we'll make it through
'Cause in this troubled world
Our eyes are fixed on You

And in our hearts
We can hear the songs of Heaven
And we know
We'll soon be singing too
Yes, we do

How long, Lord
Will You keep us waiting
How long, Lord
Until You take us home
How long, Lord
Can't You hear us praying
When will the time be
Of your coming
For Your own, oh...

How long, Lord
Will You keep us waiting
How long, Lord
Until You take us home
How long, Lord
Can't You hear us praying
When will the time be
Of your coming
For Your own, oh...
