Find Steven on Amazon How Long?  by Matthew Clark   There’s nothing new beneath the sun There is no song that ain’t been sung But there is one that won’t go on forever    That song is writ in blood and tears  That beat down through these weary years  A song that burns down in our bones like a fever    CHORUS How long, how long, Oh Lord?  Till we hang our broken harps up by the River?  How long, how long, Oh Lord? Till a world that went so wrong is delivered   Your Bride has waited patiently  Kept watch these many centuries  Your family tree sent roots down deep to listen   These branches thirst for righteousness  For springs to burst the firmament   To wash this withered riverbed with music    BRIDGE  Count me among the fools, Out carving little boats In the middle of the desert  Who still believes in you, And every word you spoke  And keeps and eye out for the weather    CHORUS How long, how long, Oh Lord?  Till the labor pain of song gives way to wonder?                                    How long, how long, Oh Lord? Till the day you tear the veil of sky asunder  The post S6:E25 – Where the River Goes: Steven Beebe, “Longing for Home” appeared first on Matthew Clark.
