Subject: Lyr Add: GIVE ME JUST A LITTLE MORE TIME^^
Here's a corrected version of the lyrics, a joint effort of Dale Rose, Gene Graham, and Joe Offer:

We are still waiting for Bill Day and his amazing wife to figure out the line in question.

GIVE ME JUST A LITTLE MORE TIME
(Albert E. Brumley)
as recorded by E. C. Ball and Orna Ball, 1972

I'm busy every day as I travel on my way
To the city far beyond the sky
And there is not a doubt that time is running out
And the harvest time is drawing nigh

Gonna need a little time to gather in the grain
Before I leave this world behind
I'm ready any time when you call me, Lord
But give me just a little more time

Give me just a little more time,
Give me just a little more time
So many precious souls are lost in sin
So many may be left behind

I've got a lot of things I need to do
Before I leave this earthly clime
I'm ready any time when you call me, Lord
But give me just a little more time

I need a little time to labor for my Lord
Before the final judgment day
I need a little time to preach the holy word
To the sinner man along life's way

Every moment that I have to tarry here below
I will try to make my lamp to shine
I'm ready when you call me, Lord,
But give me just a little more time

Give me just a little more time, Lord
Give me just a little more time
So many precious souls are lost in sin
So many may be left behind

I've got a lot of things I need to do
Before I leave this earthly clime
I'm ready any time when you call me, Lord
But give me just a little more time.
