Lyrics
God?s Waiting Room
Stranger things have happened these past ninety years.
They don?t surprise her anymore.
She?s lived much longer than she wanted to
and it?s getting hard to move.
As long as I remember, she?s told me not to cry
when it?s time for her to go.
She says she?s looking forward to the ride,
and God is on her side,
she?s gonna see Him by and by.
(Chorus)
I?m gonna walk with Jesus, leave this worn out frame behind.
I?m gonna harvest Heaven in my mind.
Time takes forever when you know it?s coming soon
to God?s Waiting Room.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday, she plays cards with her friends.
Coffee, cookies, creaking bones?
And Sunday morning they all meet again
to sing out their amens,
those little old Magdelens?
(Chorus)
I?m gonna walk with Jesus, leave this worn out frame behind.
I?m gonna harvest Heaven in my mind.
Time takes forever when you know it?s coming soon
to God?s Waiting Room.
