We have sung the songs of victory

We have prayed to You for rain

          Em                A

We have cried for Your compassion

     D/F#              G            Bm

To renew the land again; now we're standing

          G           D/F#              G

In Your presence more hungry than before

          Em                 A

Now we're on Your steps of mercy

          D/F#              G

And we're knocking at Your door

How long before You drench the barren land?

How long before we see Your righteous hand?

G A     D            G D                D

How long before Your name is lifted high?

How long before the weeping turns to songs of joy?



Verse 2

          Bm                   G

Lord, we know Your heart is broken

       D/F#             G            Em

By the evil that You see and You've stayed

                 A             D/F#              G

Your hand of judgment for You plan to set men free

         Bm                 G

But the land is still in darkness

          D/F#                   G

And we've fled from what is right

         Em                   A

We have failed the silent children

         D/F#           G

Who have never see the light



[Chorus 1]

      Bm             G

But I know a day is coming

When the deaf will hear His voice

When the blind will see their Saviour

        D/F#                  G          Bm

And the lame will leap for joy when the widow 

         G              D/F#                  G

Finds a Husband who will always love His bride

Who will never leave her side
