“HOW LONG? NOT LONG”  Psalm 13  King David -

Psalm 13 How long wilt thou forget me, O Lord? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me? 2 How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine enemy be exalted over me?    

DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR., “HOW LONG? NOT LONG” (25 MARCH 1965)

How long? Not long, because the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. (Yes, sir) How long? Not long, (Not long) because: Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord; (Yes, sir) He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; (Yes) He has loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword; (Yes, sir) His truth is marching on. (Yes, sir) He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat; (Speak, sir) He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat. (That’s right) O, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! Be jubilant my feet! Our God is marching on. (Yeah) Glory, hallelujah! (Yes, sir) Glory, hallelujah! (All right) Glory, hallelujah! Glory, hallelujah!  His truth is marching on. [Applause]

It’s amazing that man has always asked the question How Long.  These scriptures are written over thousands of years ago and the heart of man still wonders just how long. Dr. Martin Luther King speech in 1965 asked the question How Long and he offered an answer Not Long. Even today people all around the world as we faces many challenges ask the question How Long.
