[Verse 1]
You've been a [F]father[C]
A [Am]father [F]to me
Full of compas[C]sion
[Am]Gracious [F]and meek
As high as the heavens
[C]So too[Bb] is your lov[F]e
But the strain that we're [Am]in
makes me feel like
We're living with no [E]heaven [Am]above
How [F]long
How [C]long
Will the [G]weight be [Am]this heavy?
How [F]long
How [C]long
Can [G]we bend till [Am]we break?
'Cause [F]the rain isn't
good till it's [C]falling
And your [E]grace isn't good till [Am]it's spent
How [F]long
How [C]long[F][C][F][C][Am][F]
[C][Am][F]
I say yes to these [C]limits
But there's a [Am]limit to my [F]yes
There's a lesson to [C]learn here
I'm [Am]learning to [F]be less
I smile when [C]I have to
But there's a [Bb]voice in [F]my head, saying
Every depth has a surface,
[Am]but doesn't mean
Every [E]surface has [Am]a depth
How [F]long
How [C]long
Will the [G]weight be [Am]this heavy?
How [F]long
How [C]long
Can we [G]bend till [Am]we break?
'Cause the [F]rain isn't good
till it's [C]falling
And your [E]grace isn't good till it's [Am]spent
How [F]long
How [C]long[F][C]
I have trusted in your [Am]mercy
For your [F]mercy I will [C]wait
As [G]I lift my voice to [Am]you
Oh, Lord, would [F]you increase my [C]faith
I have trusted in your [Am]mercy
For your [F]mercy I will [C]wait
As [G]I lift my voice to [Am]you
Oh, Lord, would [F]you increase my [C]faith
I have trusted in your [Am]mercy
For your [F]mercy I will [C]wait
As I [G]lift my voice to [Am]you
Oh, Lord, would [F]you increase my [C]faith
[F]How long
How [C]long
Will the [G]weight be [Am]this heavy?
How [F]long
How [C]long
Can we [G]bend till [Am]we break?
'Cause the [F]rain isn't good
till [C]it's falling
And your [E]grace isn't good till [Am]it's spent
How [F]long
How [C]long
How [F]long
How [C]long
How [F]long
[C]How long
How [F]long
[C]How long
