How long oh Lord

Lord, How long must I wait
How long will you hold your tongue
why have you allowed this season to endure
Lord I want to see your face--to see your rule and reign on Earth
How will I endure without your grace, your smile your eyes
Why must wait, how do I stand in the shadow of your grace

Darkness Compasses me all around
I see your light shining over the risen
yet the light is still far off
In this time of light how can I stand in darkness

When will the light shine on my face
Why must I fumble and stumble in the darkness
How long until I can see clearly

I stand in darkness while others basking in the light
LIfe has been a difficult journey full of pain and torment
I wade through the mud, muck and mire

Yet even still I stand
I fall I cry I bleed
Yet even in this I stand
Though the tides and waves of life smashes me
pulling me apart at the seams
I renew my strength, I push forward
and even though I know I may fall again
In the midst of the violence and chaos

I stand tall
Yet I stand
