It's been a long time Haven't spoken for a while I been trying to do it on my own again And I been falling on my face again And it's been a long time It's been a long, long time It's been a long time since Galilee and the twelve Since the time you died up there on the tree Since the time you set every one of us free It's been a long time It's been a long time CHORUS: It's been a long time It's been a long time But I'm coming home now I'm coming through to You But I'm coming home now Oh, Lord, it's true It's been a long time Since I felt really clean Since I felt completely relieved Since I felt like I really believed Lord, it's been a long, long time It's been a long time It's been a long time Since I've listened to you Since I've walked a little way in your Light Since I've heard your voice and not put up a fight It's been a long time It's been a long, long time
