[Verse 1] How much longer must I wait here, Lord? Why does Your presence feel so far away? How long must I wrestle with this troubled soul, Carrying sorrow through the day? How long will those who rise against me Believe that they have won? [Verse 2] Turn toward me now and hear me, Listen to my burdened cry. You alone are still my God; Bring the light back to my eyes. Do not let the darkness claim me, Or my enemies declare that I have fallen; Do not let them celebrate Because they see me shaken. [Bridge] Oh, my soul, keep holding on; God will surely lead you through— Through the long and lonely nighttime, Through the valley’s deepest shadows, Till the darkness starts to open And the morning breaks anew. [Chorus] Still, I rest within Your mercy; Still, I trust Your loving care. My heart will rise and sing with joy, For Your love is always there. I will lift my song before You, For through everything I see: You have never once abandoned— You remain faithful to me. [Outro] Still, I rest within Your mercy; Still, I trust Your loving care. My heart will rise and sing with joy, For Your love is always there.
