Story behind the song
We're facing some tough times at home... my daughter has moved home with our granddaughter, and we're finding it difficult to keep up with how busy our lives have become. And yet, even knowing this, I've become acutely aware of how much harder life is for so many more people. So I write this for them.
Lyrics
Lord I didn't want to be here; Every day just wears me down. I try to find my home in you, Jesus. I want to walk on Holy Ground. There's nothing that I've needed more I want to be with you How long, How long, Lord Must I wait for you How long Lord, I don't know how to carry All the burdens I must bear I try to keep the wolves at bay, Lord I want to know that you are there There's nothing else that I've hoped for I need to be with you How long, How long, Lord Must I wait for you How long

Hey, Richard, you sound like Don Henley on Jesus in this. It's a sweet set of licks and a good message.
