How Long

How long do I wait?

Will you forget me always?

Will you hide your face?

And leave me alone?

How long do I wait?

Shall I be sorrowful long?

And have a pain in my heart

As my enemies win

Will you answer me?

Or just ignore my calls

Shall I fall asleep?

And let my foes rejoice

All I have done is trust in you

And rejoice in my heart

That you were my friend

Was that not real?

But let’s forget it

As I am not alone

I will continue to sing

Of my love for you

Because I know in my heart

I know the truth

That despite how I now feel

You have always been faithful

Based on Psalm 13
