How long... How long... How long, Lord? You've said all you know how to say You've done all you know how to do Loved them through another hard day Still can't make the choice for them too You've carried names into your prayers More nights than you can count Some days faith sounds less like answers And more like crying out How long, Lord? How long will this be? I know You hear me Even when I can't see Fight on your knees When you're tired of asking when Bring it back to Him Then bring it back again Again... When you can't change a heart When you can't make them see You don't have to carry What you cannot change Fight on your knees Maybe you've prayed this prayer before Same names, same ache, same plea Watched another door stay closed When you thought this time you'd see You can love with open hands You can grieve what you can't mend You can tell Him you're exhausted And still come back again Again... How long, Lord? I don't know when But You're still God So I'm here again Fight on your knees When you're tired of asking when Bring it back to Him Then bring it back— Again Again Again When you can't change a heart When you can't make them see You don't have to carry What you cannot change Fight on your knees I don't know what to do But my eyes are still on You I don't know what to say But You hear me anyway What I cannot reach What I cannot change What I cannot hold together I can place into Your hands Same names Same prayer Same ache I'm still here So I bring it back— Again Again Again I'll bring it again Bring it again As many times as it takes I'll bring it again Fight on your knees Even tired faith can bend Bring it back to Him Then bring it back— Again Again Again You don't have to know when You don't have to make them see When you've done all you can do Fight on your knees Bring it back to Him Bring it back... Then bring it back again Again... Fight on your knees
