Third Day's 'Long Time Comin'' is a rock-influenced worship song about personal awakening and the urgency to share faith. The narrator admits to taking blessings for granted and hiding behind fears, but now feels called to step out and offer others something real to believe in. There's a sense of anticipation for Christ's return, with believers looking to the sky, yet the focus stays on the present mission to spread the message. The repeated phrase 'long time coming' captures both the delay and the readiness to finally respond to God's call.

Well, I've been taking it all for granted
Everything that I have been giving
Now it is the day to start my mission
It's been a long time a-coming
There are many searching for answers
Tell me, who am I to keep it to myself?
I've grown weary of my own fears, yeah
It's been a long time a-coming
Well, I've been running just like an outlaw
And I am willing and I am able
To give you something that you can believe in
It's been a long time a-coming
True believers have been staring
Up into the sky, waiting for your return
And I know one day the clouds will roll down
It's been a long time a-coming
Well, I've been running just like an outlaw, yeah
And I am willing and I am able
To give you something that you can believe in
It's been a long time a-coming
Oh, long time coming
And I've been running just like an outlaw, yeah
Now I am willing and I am able
To give you something you can believe in
It's been a long time a-coming
Oh, yeah
A long time coming, yeah
Oh, yeah, oh-oh
And I am able to give you something
It's been a long time, long time, long time
Long time coming
