Long Time Comin' (Holdin' On) Testo

Background:
It's been a long time comin', but a change is gonna come
Waiting through the evening, tell me when will I see the sun
It's been a long time comin', but a change is gonna come
I've waited through the evening, tell me when will I see the sun
Lead 1:
Looking back in retrospect
Things I desired thought I'd never get
Wanting my dreams to happen right away
Lead 2:
But in your way the lesson you learned
Patience must have her perfect turn
When you got low you could hear the spirit say...
Background:
It's been a long time comin', but a change is gonna come
I've waited past the night, wonder when will I see the sun
Lead 1:
Satan tried to force it loose
Friends came and said 'what's the use'
Oh but I kept holdin' on, not even knowing why
Lead 2:
Well, now you can speak from experience
If God says He hears, He certainly cares
Even now you can hear the Spirit cry
Background:
Secrets the Lord imparts
Keep them close to you heart
Don't ever let them die
Make them the apple of your eye
(repeat)
Secrets
