For So Long... Lyrics

For so long x 3
For so long I've heard
so many people
crying out to God
for His forgiveness.
They raise their eyes towards
His heaven and cry
out from blackened sinful lives.
When His mercy helps them live

they turn their backs
and fall into the world
x 2
You take for granted
the gift of Jesus' passion
knowing your life
can be redeemed,

but bear in mind
that His return is near
and if your life is anchored by your vices
you will be shunned
for you walked the widest path.
The widest path x 4
Stand ready!
upheld by Christ!!
living the life
He made you to!!
And praise His name!!
for He is Holy! Holy!!
