Parte 1:
        Bm7               Gm              Dm/F#             Gm
We have sung the songs of victory,we have prayed to You for rain,
        Em9               Am9          Dm/F#           Gm
We have cried for Your Compassion, to renew the land again;
            Bm7             Gm            Dm/F#          Gm
Now we're standing in Your presence, more hungry than before,
          Em9              Am9               Dm/F#             Gm
Now we're on Your steps of mercy, and we're knocking at Your door.
     Bm7              Gm                Dm/F#
How long, before You drench the barren land,
    Am4 Am          Em9                Bm7
How long, before we see Your righteous hand;
Am9  Dm9              Gm             Dm/F#
How long, before Your name is lifted right,
    Am4 Am           Em9              Bm7  Am9 Dm9
How long, before the weeping turns to songs of joy.
Parte 2:
         Bm7                Gm             Dm/F#         Gm
Lord, we know Your heart is broken, by the evil that You see,
           Em9                 Am4   Am          Dm/F#            Gm
And You've stayed Your hand of judgment, for You plan to set men free;
         Bm7             Gm                  Dm/F#             Gm
But the land is still in darkness, and we've fled from what is rigth,
        Em9               Am4    Am          Dm/F#           Gm
We have failed the silent children, who have never seen the ligth.
    Dm9              Gm                Dm/F#
How long, before You drench the barren land,
    Am4 Am          Em9                Bm7
How long, before we see Your righteous hand;
Am9  Dm9              Gm             Dm/F#
How long, before Your name is lifted right,
    Am4 Am           Em9              Bm7  Am9 Dm9
How long, before the weeping turns to songs of joy.

      Cm7           G#m              D#m/G              G#m
But a Know a day is coming, when the deaf will hear his voice,
         Fm9                  A#m4 A#m         D#m/G              G#m
When the blind will see their Saviour, and the lame will leap for joy;
         Cm7           G#m               D#m/G           G#m
When the widow finds a husband, who will always love his bride,
        Fm9            A#m4 A#m         D#m/G           G#m
And the orphan finds a father, who will never leave her side.

How long, before Your Glory lights the skies,

How long, before Your radiance lifts our eyes;

How long, before Your fragance fills the air,

How long, before the earth resounds with song.
