The Reckoning (How Long)

<p>[Verse 1]<br/>Well I can see the storm descending on the hill tonight<br/>Tall trees are bending to your will tonight<br/>Let the mighty bow down<br/>At the thundering sound of Your voice<br/><br/>[Verse 2]<br/>I can hear the howling wind and feel the rain tonight<br/>Every drop a prophet in Your name tonight<br/>Oh, and the song that they sing<br/>It is washing me clean<br/><br/>[Chorus 1]<br/>But how long, how long, how long until this curtain is lifted?<br/>How long, how long is this the song that we sing?<br/>How long until the reckoning?<br/>[Verse 3]<br/>And I know You hear the cries of every soul tonight<br/>You see the teardrops as they roll tonight<br/>Down the faces of saints<br/>Who grow weary and faint in Your fields<br/><br/>[Verse 4]<br/>Still the wicked roam the citiеs and the streets tonight<br/>Yeah, and when thе God of love and thunder speaks tonight<br/>I believe You will come<br/>And Your justice be done<br/><br/>[Chorus 1]<br/>But how long, how long, how long until this curtain is lifted?<br/>How long, how long is this the song that we sing?<br/>How long until the reckoning?<br/><br/>[Bridge]<br/>Oh, the reckoning<br/>You are holiness and grace<br/>You are fury and rest<br/>You are anger and love<br/>You curse and you bless<br/>You are mighty and weak<br/>You are silence and song<br/>You are plain as the day<br/>But You have hidden your face<br/>For how long, how long?<br/>[Verse 5]<br/>Well I am standing in the stillness of the reckoning<br/>The storm is past and rest is beckoning<br/>Mighty God, how I fear You<br/>And I long to be near You, O Lord<br/><br/>[Outro]<br/>How long, how long, how long until this burden is lifted? (How long until the reckoning?)<br/>How long, how long is this the song that we sing?<br/>How long until the reckoning?<br/>And I know, I know, I know that I don&#x27;t know what I&#x27;m asking<br/>But I long, Lord I long to look you full in the face<br/>I am ready for the reckoning
