How long have You held Your arms out to
Me?
How long has Your voice
Been upon the wind?
How long have you chased after me?
How Long, O Lord?
How long did I tread this ground
And listen to the rain
Without giving You my praise?
How long?
And now my heart is broken
Over all the years that have been
Lost.
How long did You hang upon the cross?
How long did You suffer?
How long did I keep my face covered
As if ashamed?
How long were You in that garden?
How long did the blood
Drip down?
How long were the nails?
How heavy were the wooden beams?
And on that morning, Jesus,

About the Book
Life is never as smooth as we would sometimes like it to be. We experience periods where God seems so distant and praise hardly flows from our lips. In reaching out to God it feels as if silence is all that we receive. Our questions that we think are so urgent and desperate remain unanswered. At other times our joy is inexpressible and God's work is so evident in our lives. His love is clear and our purpose unshaken. Almost seamlessly the desert turns into a fertile land and back into a desert again. What remains is our longing to know God as He really is.
If you walk with God for long enough all these emotions will be felt. You will know anger, disappointment, doubt, joy, hope and a host more. God wants us to lay ourselves at His feet in honesty. The purpose of this book is then to sincerely capture our struggles and our joys. It is to remove the pretence that distances us from God and give voice to the cry of our heart. When this veil is pulled away it is then that we come closer to our Father and know Him more intimately.
