How long has it been

 

How long has it been
Since you talked with the Lord
And told him your heart's
Hidden secrets
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
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

How long has it been since you
Knelt by and then 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 this day is worth living
Can you call him your friend

How long has it been
since you knew that he cared for you
