How Long Has It Been

Oh how long has it been since you talked with the Lord

And told Him your heart’s hidden secret

How long since you prayed

How long since you stayed

On your knees till the light shone through

How long has it been since your mind felt at ease

And how long since your heart knew no burden

Can you call Him your friend

How long has it been

Since you knew that He cared for you

Oh how long has it been since you knelt by your bed

And prayed to the Lord up in heaven

How long since you knew

That He’d answer you

And would keep you the long night through

How long has it been since you woke with the dawn

And felt that the day’s worth the living

Can you call Him your friend

How long has it been

Since you knew that He cared for you
