How Long Lyrics

Kent Bottenfield How Long

How long will I
How long can I
How long might I
Forget about Your grace
And live in my own strength
Down on my knees
Tell me, when will I see?
You set me free
Your Son upon the cross
My gain came from Your loss

Stripes on His back
Blood on His brow
Nails in His feet
I wonder how
How You could give Your Son
Your only Son
Just for me

Back in my sin
Tell me, when will I win?
Long time I've been
Pretending it's OK
And living my own way
I sit... I cry
Knowing why He came to die
To save my life
You sent Him in my place
So You could share Your grace

Stripes on His back
Blood on His brow
Nails in His feet
I wonder how
How You could give Your Son
Your only Son
Just for me
