Jesus, you’ve obeyed
And your life you gave
So, we’ll graduate. And I love to praise
How long must we wait?
This world’s so insane
that they think we’re strange
We will leave this place
for your lovely gates
How long must we wait?
Jesus Christ, you’re in my eyes
You gave your life
You hear my cry
Be by my side
At the end of time
Tired of the state
thinking they’ve replaced
you as potentate
What’s not ugly’s fake
How long must we wait?
Only you are great
Only you can save
Only you can tame
lions of the plains
How long must we wait?
Jesus Christ, you’re in my eyes
You gave your life
You hear my cry
Be by my side
At the end of time
Satan does amaze
children of his race
They all love this age
And must love a cage
How long must we wait?
Seconds tick away
All of this will fade
in that far-off place
where, with love, we’ll reign
How long must we wait?
Jesus Christ, you’re in my eyes
You gave your life
You hear my cry
Be by my side
At the end of time
Soon, with you, I’ll stay
Then, in peace, I’ll lay
Rest, not sleep, the day
that the trumpet’s played
How long must we wait?
I can’t have my way
so, your plans I make
and I see your face
What it means to pray
It is a relationship
Jesus Christ, you’re in my eyes
You gave your life
You hear my cry
Be by my side
At the end of time
