How Long Has It Been
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''till 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?
Tell me 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?
He cared for you
Can you call Him your friend?
How long has it been
Since you knew Jesus cared?
He cared for you
Since you knew that Jesus cared?
He cared for you
Since you knew that Jesus cared?
For you
(He cared for you)
