A Long Time

Al Green

A Long Time A long time has come and gone I've seen more than I should You know I've seen it all There's never been lack For the marks on my back Said a long time has come and gone My hope is God for tomorrow No more tears Say goodbye to sorrow In the middle of the desert Said He would spring forth a well My hope is in God for tomorrow Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me Once I was lost But now I'm found God shed His grace on me I don't want to cry no more I pour out my heart Now I'm walking out the door I don't want to cry no more Somebody's got to help me please For more than twenty years My eyes been filled with tears A long time has come and gone You don't know me well There are surprises that I keep I could never tell You'll never know A long time has come and gone Seen more than I should You know, I've seen it all Never been lack for the marks on my back A long time has come and gone

Psalm 37:7-9                Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices! Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil. For the evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.
