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 at ease
How long since your 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 this day is worth living
Can you call him your friend
How long has it been
Since you knew that he cared for you.
