How Long Has It Been Lyrics

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 ay ease?
How long since you 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?
