How Long
by Jon Guerra

Album: Ordinary Ways

Verse 1
You've been a father
A father to me
Full of compassion
Gracious and meek
As high as the heavens
So too is Your love
But the strain that we're in
Makes me feel like we're living
With no heaven above

Chorus
How long? How long?
Will the weight be this heavy?
How long? How long?
Can we bend 'till we break?
'Cause the rain isn't good 'till it's falling
And Your grace isn't good 'till it's spent
How long? How long?

Verse 2
I say yes to these limits
But there's a limit to my yes
There's a lesson to learn here
I'm learning to be less
I smile when I have to
But there's a voice in my head, saying
Every depth has a surface, but
Doesn't mean every surface has a depth

Chorus
How long? How long?
Will the weight be this heavy?
How long? How long?
Can we bend 'till we break?
'Cause the rain isn't good 'till it's falling
And Your grace isn't good 'till it's spent
How long? How long?

Bridge
I have trusted in Your mercy
For Your mercy I will wait
As I lift my voice to You
Oh, Lord, would You increase my faith?
I have trusted in Your mercy
For Your mercy I will wait
As I lift my voice to You
Oh, Lord, would You increase my faith?
I have trusted in Your mercy
For Your mercy I will wait
As I lift my voice to You
Oh, Lord, would You increase my faith?

Chorus
How long? How long?
Will the weight be this heavy?
How long? How long?
Can we bend 'till we break?
'Cause the rain isn't good 'till it's falling
And Your grace isn't good 'till it's spent
How long? How long?

Outro
How long? How long?
How long? How long?
How long? How long?
