A Little More Time To Love
There’s a
little boy looking at me in the mirror
He’s asking where
the time has gone
Was it here
just long enough to draw these lines on my face?
Well I’m not
sure I’m much wiser
But some things
are clearer
And it’s
getting clear that I’m not here for long
So what am I to
do with my few minutes here in this place?
And we hear the
world sigh with its aches and its pains
We see the
grass wither and watch flowers fade
……………………………………………………………………………………….
But oh, there’s a day that is coming
When everything will be new
And oh, God will dry every tear
And everything sad will be made
untrue
And oh, it’s gonna be a celebration
All of creation longs for
And while we’re waiting for that day
to come
We’ve got a little more time to love
……………………………………………………………………………………….
There are
little ones hungry for love of a family
So many hungry
for bread
On the left and
the right surrounded by the last and the least
And just down
the street and just across the table
Hungry hearts
are waiting to be fed
‘Cause deep in
our soul we’re all longing to be at The Feast
But until we
sit down where there’s more than enough
Let us give as
we’ve been given and love as we’ve been loved
…………………………………………………………………………………….
There’s a day that is coming
When all the last will be first
Every orphan will be home
And all will be filled who hunger
and thirst
……………………………………………………………………………………..
It’s gonna be a
celebration
All of creation
longs for
And while we’re
waiting for that day to come
We’ve got a
little more time
………………………………………………………………………………………
To do justly and love mercy
And show the love we’ve been shown
For we can only be the hands and
feet of Jesus ‘til He leads us home
He will lead us home
……………………………………………………………………………………….
There’s a day
that is coming
A day that
never will end
There in the
light of His glory
Everything
broken will be whole again
And this will
be the celebration
All of creation
longs for
And while we’re
waiting for that day to come
We’ve got a
little more time to love
Just a little
more time to love
We’ve got just
a little more time to love
Just a little
more time to love
