HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN

Oh (C) how (G) long has it been (C) since you (G) talked with the Lord,
(F) And (C) told Him your heart's hidden (G) secret?
How (D) long since you prayed,
How (Em) long since you stayed,
On your (A) knees till the light shone (D) through?

How (G) long has it been (C) since your (G) mind felt at ease,
(F) And (C) how long since your heart knew no (G) burden?
Can you (C) call Him your (B) friend,
How (Em) long has it (A) been,
Since you (G) knew that He (D) cared for (G) you?

Oh (C) how (G) long has it been (C) since you (G) knelt by your bed,
(F) And (C) prayed to the Lord up in (G) heaven?
How (D) long since you knew,
That (Em) He'd answer you,
And would (A) keep you the long night (D) through?

How (G) long has it been (C) since you (G) woke with the dawn,
(F) And (C) felt that the day's worth the (G) living?
Can you (C) call Him your (B) friend,
How (Em) long has it (A) been,
Since you (G) knew that He (D) cared for (G) you?
