How Long?- A Poem by David Ritter

O Lord,
How long will You ignore me?
How long will You look away?
How long must I struggle with anguish
with sorrow in my soul each day?

Turn and answer me, my God
Restore the light to each eye
So I may see Your unfailing grace
that rids me from this cry

Replace each tear with a song
so that I may sing to You
and may the words inside my heart
reflect all the love You do

Grant me the joy of Your presence
Show me how much You care
Help my steps remain on Your path
while You guide me in my prayer

I come to You for sound refuge
Please hear my tragic plea
For You are my rock of hope
How long will You ignore me?

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
