Tell me how long has it been
Since you felt His touch within?
Is your heart still open to His love?
In your quiet time alone
Can your praise reach the throne?
Has it been so long?
You're afraid to call?
But He's there, He's always been!

He's waiting, still waiting,
He's given us time to come on in.
What a loving, caring friend!
Come on,
He's waiting, still calling,
How long has it been!
Oh! Oh!
How long has it been!

Now ain't it good for you to know,
There's a place that we can go,
While others search their whole lifetime.
They trust in things that have an end
Only on You we can depend.
But has it been so long?
You're still afraid to call?
But He's there, He's always been!

He's waiting, still waiting,
He's given us time to come on in.
What a loving, caring friend!
Come on,
He's waiting, still calling,
How long has it been!
Oh! Oh!
How long has it been!

Oh, what a kind and compassionate friend!
He keeps on!
He keeps on giving to you
And you don't give back to Him!
What does it take to get this message through to you?
He's waiting, waiting, just for you,
Oh!
He's waiting, just for you,
Oh!
He keeps on standing!
How long has it been?
Oh!
