"HOW LONG?"

One by one the cars pull out,

Slowly they form a line.

She's gone for sure, without a doubt,

She's not coming home this time.

Everyone says, "She's all right;

She was always so kind and good."

They say, "She will be with Jesus tonight;

Just like every saint should."

How long, How long can we go on;

Going our own way?

How long, how long can we go on;

Leading people wrong -

Saying everyone's okay?

That's the world's message of today;

Everybody's doing things their own way.

It didn't work with Adam, nor the Jews;

And it won't work with people

Wearing their best Sunday shoes.

Most people think it's something that they can do;

A sequence of steps, you know, 1 then 2.

They've never found out they're really lost,

And that to follow Jesus there is a cost.

How can we pretend everything is all right,

When the Son never came and gave her life.

It's so very, very sad to say;

But she's really, really not okay.
