Andrew Peterson - The Reckoning (How Long) |
|
I can see the storm descending on the hill tonight |
|
Tall trees are bending to Your will tonight |
|
Oh, let the mighty bow down |
|
At the thundering sound of Your voice |
|
I can hear the howling wind and feel the rain tonight |
|
Every drop a prophet in Your name tonight |
|
Oh, and the song that they sing |
|
It is washing me clean but |
|
How long? |
|
How long? |
|
How long until this curtain is lifted? |
|
How long is this the song that we sing? |
|
How long until the reckoning? |
|
And I know You hear the cries of every soul tonight |
|
You see the teardrops as they roll tonight |
|
Down the faces of the saints |
|
Who grow weary and faint in Your fields |
|
And the wicked roam the cities and the streets tonight |
|
But when the God of love and thunder speaks tonight |
|
Oh, I believe You will come |
|
Your justice be done, but how long? |
|
How long? How long? |
|
How long until this curtain is lifted? |
|
How long is this the song that we sing? |
|
How long until the reckoning? |
|
Oh, the reckoning |
|
You are holiness and grace |
|
You are fury and rest |
|
You are anger and love |
|
You curse and You bless |
|
You are mighty and weak |
|
You are silence and song |
|
You are plain as the day |
|
But you have hidden Your face-- |
|
For how long? How long? |
|
And I am standing in the stillness of the reckoning |
|
The storm is past and rest is beckoning |
|
Mighty God, how I fear You |
|
And I long to be near You, O Lord |
|
How long? How long? |
|
How long until this burden is lifted? |
|
How long? How long? |
|
How long is this the song that we sing? |
|
How long until the reckoning? |
|
And I know that I don't know what I'm asking |
|
I long to look You full in the face |
|
I am ready for the reckoning |
