lyrics

How long, how long must we go on
With broken hearts, fumbling in the dark?
How long, how long must we go on
with open wounds, that compound the gloom?
How long must we lament?
When will our wars and chaos end?
How long till you bring peace?
When will you make oppression cease?
When will you make oppression cease?

How long, how long must we go on
with death in wait, stealing life away?
How long till joy shall rise?
When will you wipe our tearful eyes?
How long till we shall sing?
When will you end our suffering?
When will you end our suffering?

We wait, we long, Lord Jesus, come,
With aching groans, filling up our lungs
Our hope, our song, come Lord Jesus, come
Hear our refrain, crying out your name
For we know, when you arrive
Darkness will run from Your great light
Wholeness and justice shall arise
Heaven and earth shall reunite
Heaven and earth shall reunite
