Lyrics
How much longer will our Heavenly Father
Put up with tenants who won't pay what they owe?
Exercise justice, cherish loyalty, and walk in modesty with your God
chorus:
They won't even acknowledge His name, Jehovah
From this they show
They'll go to any extreme not to know Him but this ignores
He owns the earth
Whatever's in it, all belong to Him
Everything
How much longer will our loving Creator
Listen to them give credit to the god evolution?
Should they continue with His sun, air, and water?
They'd run to the courts
If it were their work being so demeaned
2nd chorus:
They won't even acknowledge His name, Jehovah
From this they show
They'll go to any extreme not to know Him
But this ignores He owns the universe
Whatever's in it, all belong to Him
Everything
Bridge:
For 1500 years He showed patience to the ancient nation that He chose
We've surpassed 2000
We've risen against His laws
The wicked are getting stronger
For how much longer?
How much longer?
3rd chorus:
They won't even acknowledge His name Jehovah
From this they show
They'll go to any extreme not to know Him but this ignores
He owns the universe
Whatever's in it, all belong to Him
Your life, my life, their lives, our lives
Everything, everything, everything
