Lyrics

A LITTLE MORE TIME
Words and music by Gary Lee Ireland (12/11/14)

Verse 1:
The old man prayed Lord I'd like to know
Just wondering if it's my time to go
But could I stay a little while
Maybe a day or maybe just an hour

Chorus 1:
You see I don't think that I've done enough
I could use more time to finish up
To say I love you to right a wrong
Just a little more time so you can take me home

Verse 2:
Heaven seems so far away, yes I'm scared
That's why I pray
Through all these years I've had some doubts
So a little more time might help me work things out

Chorus 1:

Bridge:
A little more time is what I pray
What would it hurt to give me one more day
A little more time is all I need
To make amends before I leave
Oh Lord, a little more time

Verse 3:
The Lord smiled and said son be not afraid
I'll take you home and keep the promise that I made
But your journey is through and your time is here
Now Heaven awaits so dry those tears

Chorus 2:

You see I think that you've done quite enough
And you don't need time to finish up
I've looked at all the strength you've shown
Faithful servant, welcome home
Faithful servant, welcome home
