How Long - Derrol Sawyer

Verse 1:
   C majorC        G+G
How long, will they wait?
      A minorAm
Don't they want to walk through
    FF
that beautiful gate
    C majorC           G+G
That Jesus is goin to swing back
     A minorAm     FF
on it's hinges, one day
    C majorC           G+G     C majorC  FF G+G
that Jesus is going to swing wide, one day

Verse 2:
      C majorC      G+G
Are they really having fun?
     A minorAm            FF
or just tryin' to drown out the voice
            C majorC       G+G
of the one, calling softly, "Come to Me,
    A minorAm         FF
You've been to long on the run."
      C majorC       G+G      C majorC   FF G+G
Calling softly, "Come to Me, I'm the One."

Chorus:
 FF          G+G
There are so many who care, saying,
 C majorC   B minorBm     A minorAm
"Yes, I want to be there.
    FF                G+G
(But) Life right here right now is so grand."
        C majorC    B minorBm      A minorAm
They're like children playing in the sand.
          FF          G+G
Their carefully fashioned worlds will stand,
      FF      G+G
till the first storms come.

Verse 3:
     C majorC      G+G
I have found I have friends,
        A minorAm
and there are many I don't know
     FF
walking down a dead end.
      C majorC           G+G
Saying, "Everything looks fine to me."
        A minorAm            FF
While they're asleep to the warning God sends.
      C majorC           G+G
Saying, "Everything looks fine to me,
       C majorC    FF G+G
no crisis impends."

Verse 4:
    C majorC    G+G
Was it so, long ago,
  A minorAm          FF
I thought I could wait because I'd know,
      C majorC            G+G
When the winds of strife were let go.
      A minorAm   FF
That isn't so, Oh no.
      C majorC         G+G
Because people who wait too long,
      C majorC  FF G+G
just won't go.

Chorus:
 FF          G+G
There are so many who care, saying,
 C majorC   B minorBm     A minorAm
"Yes, I want to be there.
    FF                G+G
(But) Life right here right now is so grand."
        C majorC    B minorBm      A minorAm
They're like children playing in the sand.
          FF          G+G
Their carefully fashioned worlds will stand,
      FF      G+G
till the first storms come.
