How Long?
by Matthew Clark
There’s nothing new beneath the sun
There is no song that ain’t been sung
But there is one that won’t go on forever
That song is writ in blood and tears
That beat down through these weary years
A song that burns down in our bones like a fever
CHORUS
How long, how long, Oh Lord?
Till we hang our broken harps up by the River?
How long, how long, Oh Lord?
Till a world that went so wrong is delivered
Your Bride has waited patiently
Kept watch these many centuries
Your family tree sent roots down deep to listen
These branches thirst for righteousness
For springs to burst the firmament
To wash this withered riverbed with music
BRIDGE
Count me among the fools, Out carving little boats
In the middle of the desert
Who still believes in you, And every word you spoke
And keeps and eye out for the weather
CHORUS
How long, how long, Oh Lord?
Till the labor pain of song gives way to wonder?
How long, how long, Oh Lord?
Till the day you tear the veil of sky asunder
