[Bm] We have sung our songs [G] of victory, we have prayed to you for rain, [Em] we have cried for
your compassion [D] to renew the [G] land again.
[Bm] Now we're standing [G] in your presence more hungry than before, [Em] now we're on your steps of [A] mercy
and we're knocking [G] at your door.
[D] How long _ before you drench the barren land?
How [A] long
_ before we see [Em] your righteous hand?
[D] How long [D] _ before your name is left dead high?
How [A] long
_ for the [Em] weeping turns to [D] songs of joy?
_ _ _ [Bm] Lord we know your [G] heart is broken by the evil that you [G] see
[Em] and you stayed your hand of judgment [D] for your plan to set men free.
[Bm] But the land is [G] still in darkness and [D] we fled from what's right.
[Em] We have failed the silent [A] children who have [D] never seen the [G] light.

[Cm] But I know a day is [Ab] coming when [Eb] the deaf will hear his voice,
[Fm] when the blind will [F] see their savior and the [Eb] lame will leap for [Ab] joy.
When the widow [F] finds a husband
who [Eb] will always love dead right [Fm] and the orphan [F] finds a father who [Eb] will never leave [Ab] her side.
[Eb] How long before your glory lights [Bb] the skies?
How long _ before your radiant lips [Cm] are [Eb] right?
How long before your fragrance fills the air?
How [Bb] long before the earth [Cm] resounds with [Eb] songs of joy?
Before your glory lights the skies, how [Bb] long before your [F] radiant lips [Eb] are right?
