How Long Has It Been?

 1

How long has it been 

since you talked with the Lord

and told him your heart’s hidden secrets

How long since you prayed

How long since you stayed

On your knees ‘til the light shone through?

How long has it been 

Since your mind felt at ease

How long since your heart knew no burden?

Can you call him your friend?

How long has it been

Since you knew that he cared for you?

How long has it been

Since you knelt by your bed

And prayed to the Lord up in heaven?

How long since you knew

That he’d answer you

And would keep you the long night through?

How long has it been

Since you woke with the dawn

And felt that the day’s worth the living?

Can you call him your friend?

How long has it been

Since you knew that he cared for you?

1 Peter 5:6-7

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
