“How long Lord?
Will you hide Your face forever?
How long will
Your wrath burn like fire?”
Why does He suffer us for so long?
“Should we sin on now
That grace should abound?”
I know the answer
Yet I had ignored it
Why does He seek out
They so entangled?
“Should we sin on now
That grace should abound?”
I know the answer
Yet I still ignore it
I see the long, indifferent
Stare turning to desolation
Long does He suffer
Long does He await
Can we really be surprised
When our indifference is met
With a rescinding hand
And the shattering of idols?
Long does He suffer
And many still will
See His grace reveal
But He is not mocked
How long will He, then?
When will this end?
Many times before
Another callous horde
“Should we then sin on now
That grace should abound?”
We knew the answer
Yet here we continue
Here we are now
Meet the rescinding hand
Shattered be the altars
“How long Lord?
Will you hide Your face forever?
How long will
Your wrath burn like fire?”
