We have sung our songs of victory    We have prayed to you for rain    We have cried your compassion    To renew the land again    Now we're standing in your presence    More hungry than before    Now we're on your steps of mercy and we're knocking at your door       How long    Before you drench the barren land    how long    Before we see a righteous man    How long    Before your name is lifted high    How long    Before the weeping turns to songs of joy       Lord, we know your heart is broken    By the evil that you see    And you've stayed your hand of judgment    For your plan to set men free    But the land is still in darkness    And we've fled from what is right    And we've failed the silent children    Who will never see the light       But I know a day is coming    When the deaf will hear his voice    When the blind will see the savior    And the lame will leap for joy    When a widow finds a husband    Who will always love his bride    And the orphan finds a father    Who will never leave her side       How long    Before your glory lights the skies    How long    Before your radiance lifts our eyes    How long    Before your fragrance fills the air    How long    Before the earth resounds with songs of joy
