How Long Has It Been

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 that the day's worth the living
Can you call Him you friend, how long has it been
Since you knew that He cared for you.
