Just a Little While Songtext
von Gerald Wolfe

Soon this life will all be over,
And our pilgrimage will end.
Soon we′ll take our Heav'nly journey,
Be at home again with friends;
Heaven′s gates are standing open,
Waiting for our entrance there,
Some sweet day we're going over,
All the beauties there to share.

Just a little while to stay here,
Just a little while to wait;
Just a little while to labor
In the path that's always straight;
Just a little more of troubles
In this low and sinful state,
Then we′ll enter Heaven′s portals,
Sweeping thru the pearly gates.


Soon we'll see the light of morning,
Then the new day will begin,
Soon we′ll hear the Father calling,
"Come, my children, enter in."
Then we'll hear a choir of angels
Singing out the vict′ry song,
All our troubles will be ended
And we'll live with heaven′s throng.

Just a little while to stay here,
Just a little while to wait;
Just a little while to labor
In the path that's always straight;
Just a little more of troubles
In this low and sinful state,
Then we'll enter Heaven′s portals,
Sweeping thru the pearly gates.

Just a little while to stay here,
Just a little while to wait;
Just a little while to labor
In the path that′s always straight;
Just a little more of troubles
In this low and sinful state,
Then we'll enter Heaven′s portals,
Sweeping thru the pearly gates.

Then we'll enter Heaven′s portals,
Sweeping thru the pearly gates.
