HOW LONG, LORD

It’s upsetting Lord, to listen
to what the media has to say,
how Your people slowly have been drawn
to live the dark side, it’s their way.

Long ago You gave to everyone
the choice of evil or of good,
through the years some have forgotten
to live the way they should.

They think not how much they hurt You
or of their fate on judgement day,
thinking only of earth’s pleasures
and push You Dear God away.

Increase the fruits of daily prayers
for all of these who stray,
help us Lord to bring them back
to live a holy life, we pray.

So that one day in Your Kingdom
we’ll have won our rightful place,
and will see the glorious vision
of our Good God’s Holy Face.
