How long Oh Lord
Would You forget me forever
How long would You hide Your face from me
Cuz day and night, I am on the knees
And cry my heart out to You
There is no answer from You
But I know that You are the one
Who can deliver me from my troubles
And set me free

That is why I say
Oh my Lord my God
I am calling you
Listen to me, listen to my prayers
I have come to You for safety
Don't stay far away
Hurry to my aid
It's You alone I know
So listen to my prayers
I have trusted You since I was young
I have relied on You all my life
So listen to me, never leave me alone
Listen to me, listen to my prayers
It's You alone I know
Be merciful to me

How long Oh Lord
Would You forget me forever
How long would You hide Your face from me
Cuz day and night, I am on the knees
And cry my heart out to You
There is no answer from You
But I know that You are the one
Who can deliver me from my troubles
And set me free

That is why I say
Oh my Lord my God
I am calling you
Listen to me, listen to my prayers
I have come to You for safety
Don't stay far away
Hurry to my aid
It's You alone I know
So listen to my prayers
I have trusted You since I was young
That is why I humble myself before You Lord
Answer me now, never leave me alone
Listen to my prayers
Let me find safety under Your wings
You are the only One I can call upon
That is why I humble myself before You Lord
Answer me now, never leave me alone
Listen to my prayers
Let me find safety under Your wings
