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 asnewer you

And would keep you the long night through

How long has it been since you woke with the dawn

And felt that day was worth living

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 talked with the Lord

And told him your heart's hid in 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

Can you call him your friend

How long has it been since you knew that he cared for you
