Why God Takes So Long

1. So often we wonder,
Why God takes so long,
To answer whenever we pray,
So, one day I sought Him
And He made it known,
For He answered me, friend, right away.

2. I whispered, "Dear Jesus,
Must You take so long,
To answer my prayers when I pray?"
I heard Him then answer,
"My child, you're so slow,
To honor the things that I say."

3. I said, "Lord, forgive me,
For I've been so wrong,
I'm sorry I've acted this way,
I know that You'll hear me,
As You lead me on,
But I must do whatever You say."

Chorus: "So long I've been waiting,
To gather My own,
To a land of a much brighter day,
So, if you are ready,
Together we'll go,
For we may reach the portals today."
