How Long Has it Been
by Jim Reeves
C F
How long has it been since you talked with the Lord
G7 C
And told him your heart's hidden secrets
F
How long since you prayed how long since you stayed
G7 C
On your knees till the light shone through
F C
How long has it been since your mind felt at ease
G7 C
How long since your heart knew no burden
F
Can you call him your friend how long has it been
G7 C
Since you knew that he cared for you
F
How long has it been since you knelt by your bed
G7 C
And prayed to the Lord up in heaven
F
How long since you knew that He’d answer you
G7 C
And keep you the long night through
F
How long has it been since you woke with the dawn
G7 C
And felt that the day is worth the living
F
Can you call him your friend how long has it been
G7 C
Since you knew that he cared for you
