The Reckoning How Long chords by Andrew Peterson

Verse 1:

      C
I can see the storm descending on the hill tonight

F2
Tall trees are bending to your will tonight

        Am7
Let the mighty bow down

       G                        F2
At the thundering sound of your voice

      C
I can hear the howling wind and feel the rain tonight

F2
Every drop a prophet in your name tonight

        Am7
And the song that they sing

      G
It is washing me clean,

Chorus:

    C           Em         F2                                F2 Fadd9 F2 Fadd9
But how long how long how long until this curtain is lifted?

    C        Em                                     F2
How long how long is this the song that we sing?

    Gsus                      C      F2     C      F2
How long until the reckoning?

Verse 2:

      C
And I know you hear the cries of every soul tonight

F2
You see the teardrops as they roll tonight

         Am7
Down the faces of saints

         G                       F2
Who grow weary and faint in your fields

        C
And the wicked roam the cities and the streets tonight

    F2
But when the God of love and thunder speaks tonight

  Am7                         G
I believe You will come Your justice be done

Chorus:

Chorus Tag:

C/E    F2
Oh the reckoning

Bridge:

        Am
You are holiness and grace

        Em
You are fury and rest

        F2
You are anger and love

     G
You curse and you bless

        Am
You are mighty and weak

        G/B
You are silence and song

        C
You are plain as the day

              F2
But you have hidden your face--

        Am        G
For how long? How long?

Verse 3:

          C
And I am standing in the stillness of the reckoning

     F2
The storm is past and rest is beckoning

        Am
Mighty God, how I fear you

      G                      F2
How I long to be near you, O Lord

Final Chorus:

    C        Em       F2                              F2 Fadd9 F2 Fadd9
How long how long how long until the burden is lifted?

    C         Em                         F2
How long how long is this the song that we sing?

    F2
How long until the reckoning?

      C      Em     F2                                     F2 Fadd9 F2 Fadd9
And I know I know I know that I don't know what I'm asking

       C     Em                          F2
But I long I long to look you full in the face

     C
I am ready for the reckoning
