Lyrics
How long must we wait
Expressing impatience or eagerness for something.
To see your face
Desire to have a direct experience or encounter.
How long must we stand here
Waiting expectantly for an encounter or manifestation.
Calling out for you
Seeking connection or communication.
How far is heaven
Questioning the perceived distance between earth and heaven metaphorically.
From the earth
Metaphorically inquiring about the perceived separation between heaven and earth.
How far is the distance
Asking about the perceived emotional or spiritual distance.
From my heart to yours
Expressing the perceived emotional distance between hearts.
Right now, take me away from here
Seeking immediate departure from the present circumstances.
Away from the cares of this world
Yearning to escape from worldly concerns or troubles.
Right here, come sweep me off my feet
Desiring to be taken into an emotional or spiritual embrace.
Into your open arms
Longing to be embraced or accepted.
Take me to you, Lord
Requesting to be brought closer to the divine presence.
Take me to you, Lord
Repetition emphasizing the desire to be brought closer to the divine.
Take me, take me
Repeated plea to be taken closer to the divine.
Take me to you, Lord
Repeated plea to be brought nearer to the divine presence.
How loud must we cry
Expressing the intensity of the desire for divine intervention.
For you to come
Asking about the level of desperation or intensity needed to invoke divine presence.
How still must we be
Reflecting on the state of calmness or readiness necessary to sense divine presence.
To know your presence
Seeking an awareness or acknowledgment of the divine presence.
