How Long Has It Been

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 'til 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 cares 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 answer you
And would keep you the long night through?
How long has it been
Since you walked with the Lord
And felt that the day's worth a-living?
Can you call Him your friend?
How long has it been
Since you knew that He cares for you?

Do you know that He cares for you?
