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
