Flood this heart with assurance of Your mercy
Fill this mind with knowledge of Your love
Hold me fast through the deep and steady current
How long, how long ‘till these tears are gone?
Every hour, awake me to Your presence
Shine Your light, brighter than the dawn
Send Your joy, illuminate the darkness
How long, how long ‘till these tears are gone?
How long, how long ‘till these tears are gone?
I’ll fix my eyes on eternity above
Where every lie, is uncovered by Your love
I’ll fix my eyes on eternity above
Where every lie, every shadow is uncovered by Your love
Lord You hear, the pleading of the faithful
I search for You, hide not Your face
Here I tread, a shell among the ruins
How long, how long ‘till these tears are gone?
How long, how long ‘till these tears are gone?
How long, how long ‘till these tears are gone?
How long, how long ‘till these tears are gone?
