[Verse 1] How long, O Lord—did You forget me? Glow of the clock on the ceiling, 2:03 Raindrops write questions on the glass Thoughts keep circling, never pass I carry sorrow like a quiet drum Eyes wide open till the morning hum Are You hiding, just beyond the haze? I’m small beneath these sleepless waves [Verse 2] How long will my heart ache in the dark? Whispers say my hope is out of spark Enemies of peace in my chest Counting every doubt like beads of stress Answer me, Lord—light up my eyes Don’t let night win, don’t let me die Don’t let them say they’ve overcome Be my sunrise when I come undone [Chorus] But I have trusted in Your steadfast love I have trusted in Your steadfast love My heart will sing of Your salvation You have dealt bountifully with me Yes, You have dealt bountifully with me [Verse 3] Thin clean guitar like a silver line Warm round bass keeps time with my sigh Vintage rhythm in a faded room Airy pads drift like a tender plume I lift my hands though they feel weak Your mercy is the language I speak Hesed older than my longest night Your covenant kindness is my light [Chorus] But I have trusted in Your steadfast love I have trusted in Your steadfast love My heart will sing of Your salvation You have dealt bountifully with me Yes, You have dealt bountifully with me [Chorus] But I have trusted in Your steadfast love I have trusted in Your steadfast love My heart will sing of Your salvation You have dealt bountifully with me Yes, You have dealt bountifully with me [Outro] How long was only till You spoke All my midnight fears went up in smoke I will sing, I will sing, I will sing For Your love keeps everything
