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
