Title: How Long
Words by Adam King, music by Adam King
/ Mike Nicholson
Have you ever come this far
You must be so very tired
Heaven is not a state of mind
You can reach it, but not by trying
How long will you try?
Trudging across this mire
Can’t seem to get any higher
Striving, trying to reach dry land
But all I find is quicksand
How long have you been throwing back the drunken dregs of this
life
How long have you choked back the tears while they said, "Don't
cry"
How long will you try to break the chains you locked down so tight
How
long will you try?
Messiah has come to give us freedom
Messiah has come so we can run
Along the fields of this life to our home
We will run, we won’t strive alone
Why do you strive alone?
Why do you try alone?
