Lyrics

[00:01.12] Andrew Peterson - The Reckoning (How Long)
[00:05.89]
[01:14.35] I can see the storm descending on the hill tonight
[01:20.45] Tall trees are bending to Your will tonight
[01:24.78] Oh, let the mighty bow down
[01:28.03] At the thundering sound of Your voice
[01:31.70]
[01:33.28] I can hear the howling wind and feel the rain tonight
[01:39.50] Every drop a prophet in Your name tonight
[01:43.95] Oh, and the song that they sing
[01:47.02] It is washing me clean but
[01:49.67]
[01:50.17] How long?
[01:52.45] How long?
[01:55.18] How long until this curtain is lifted?
[02:00.56] How long is this the song that we sing?
[02:08.79] How long until the reckoning?
[02:16.06]
[02:22.32] And I know You hear the cries of every soul tonight
[02:28.66] You see the teardrops as they roll tonight
[02:33.35] Down the faces of the saints
[02:36.05] Who grow weary and faint in Your fields
[02:40.02]
[02:41.63] And the wicked roam the cities and the streets tonight
[02:47.21] But when the God of love and thunder speaks tonight
[02:52.24] Oh, I believe You will come
[02:55.25] Your justice be done, but how long?
[03:00.72] How long? How long?
[03:05.46] How long until this curtain is lifted?
[03:08.88] How long is this the song that we sing?
[03:17.08] How long until the reckoning?
[03:20.71]
[03:22.18] Oh, the reckoning
[03:23.50]
[03:24.90] You are holiness and grace
[03:27.70] You are fury and rest
[03:30.36] You are anger and love
[03:33.33] You curse and You bless
[03:35.81] You are mighty and weak
[03:38.65] You are silence and song
[03:41.28] You are plain as the day
[03:44.02] But you have hidden Your face--
[03:46.56] For how long? How long?
[03:52.07]
[03:52.60] And I am standing in the stillness of the reckoning
[03:55.61] The storm is past and rest is beckoning
[04:03.42] Mighty God, how I fear You
[04:06.22] And I long to be near You, O Lord
[04:11.64]
[04:12.11] How long? How long?
[04:17.10] How long until this burden is lifted?
[04:22.51] How long? How long?
[04:26.81] How long is this the song that we sing?
[04:30.71] How long until the reckoning?
[04:35.82]
[04:36.32] And I know that I don't know what I'm asking
[04:44.01] I long to look You full in the face
[04:52.38] I am ready for the reckoning
[05:03.26]
