poems of grace - How Long?

A heart of fire burns deep inside
You hold Your anger when mine aches to chide
Drowned in darkness, wave upon wave
No shred of hope, alone in this grave
How long, O Lord, will You hold their cries?
How long, O Lord, will You walk beside?
My hands outspread, my heart laid bare
Hear my groaning, hear my prayer
Break apart this fallow ground
For the time has come: seek and be found
How long, O Lord, will I hear their cries?
How long, O Lord, will I stand idly by?
To awaken and move
Or sleep and be still
Let me drink of Your well
And from Your waters fill
As I soak in Your passions
And learn at Your feet
Be ready to move, for my Lord I seek
How long, O Lord, till You wipe our eyes?
How long, O Lord, till You walk beside?
Not long, O Lord, for You attend our cries
Not long, O Lord, and You will satisfy
A heart of fire burns deep inside
Where darkness dwells Your light will shine
