How long, O Lord
How long will we suffer?
How long must we wait?
Redemption is yours to give
But when?
Why are we forsaken
Why left here to wait for death?
Why don’t you act?
Salvation is yours to give
But when?
When love is the first word
and the last
And when every word in between
speaks of love
When love motivates
anticipates
permeates
Then you will know
Then you will feel
Then you will see
Redemption in your midst
Salvation among you.
Lift up your heads
Open your eyes
Let me come in
