How Long Songtext
von Jon Guerra

You′ve been a father
A father to me
Full of compassion
Gracious and meek

As high as the heavens
So too is your love
But the strain that we're in makes me feel like
We′re living with no heaven above

How long
How long
Will the weight be this heavy?

How long
How long
Can we bend till we break?

'Cause the rain isn't good till it′s falling
And your grace isn′t good till it's spent
How long
How long


I say yes to these limits
But there′s a limit to my yes
There's a lesson to learn here
I′m learning to be less

I smile when I have to
But there's a voice in my head, saying
Every depth has a surface, but doesn′t mean
Every surface has a depth

How long
How long
Will the weight be this heavy?

How long
How long
Can we bend till we break?

'Cause the rain isn't good till it′s falling
And your grace isn′t good till it's spent
How long
How long

I have trusted in your mercy
For your mercy I will wait
As I lift my voice to you
Oh, Lord, would you increase my faith


I have trusted in your mercy
For your mercy I will wait
As I lift my voice to you
Oh, Lord, would you increase my faith

I have trusted in your mercy
For your mercy I will wait
As I lift my voice to you
Oh, Lord, would you increase my faith

How long
How long
Will the weight be this heavy?

How long
How long
Can we bend till we break?

′Cause the rain isn't good till it′s falling
And your grace isn't good till it′s spent
How long
How long
How long
How long
How long
How long
How long
How long
