How Long?

Paul Lisney

This ia song about the sanctity of life.

How Long

How long will it take
‘Til they find the answer?
Life is sacred and endless hearts have been broken

How long can you wait?
Holding back your anger
A child is innocent and to kill is not the answer

But I see the love in Your eyes
And You won’t turn us away
But I know where that choice is made
Life can’t be without pain

How long will we be
Torn from your protection?
For the world, it lies and choice has a victim

How long can we wait?
Your faithful tire of watching
Time belongs to You; we must love and have patience

And I know Your love won’t die
It’s man who’s turning away
And I know where that choice is made
Peace can never reign

How long will it take?
Prayer’s the only answer
There must be an end; hear the cries Your children
