Long Time Comin’ (Holdin’ On)

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

Looking back in retrospect

Things I desired thought I'd never get

Wanting my dreams to happen right away

But in your way the lesson you learned

Patience must have her perfect turn

When you got low you could hear the spirit say

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

Satan tried to force it loose

Friends came and said "what's the use"

Oh but I kept holdin' on

Not even knowing why

Well, now you can speak from experience

If God says He hears, He certainly cares

Even now you can hear the Spirit cry

Secrets the Lord imparts

Keep them close to you heart

Don't ever let them die

Make them the apple of your eye

Make them the apple of your eye

Secrets

It's been a long time comin'

But a change is gonna come

I've waited till the morning

Now I finally see the sun

The message in this simple song

Is to keep on holdin'

Holdin' on, holdin' on

Till you see the sun

You gotta keep on holdin'

Holdin' on, holdin' on

Till you see the sun just keep on

Holdin' on, till you finally see the sun

You gotta keep on

Holdin' on, holdin' on

Till you see the sun

It's too late to give up now

God is going to answer your prayers

So you gotta keep on holdin' on

It's too late to give up now

Just a little bit too late
