"Lord, Give Me Just A Little Bit More Time"

Written by Albert E. Brumley

I'm busy every day as I travel on my way
to that city far beyond the sky
And there is not a doubt,
that time is running out
As harvest time is drawing nigh
Lord I need a little time
To gather in the grain
Before I leave this world behind
I'm ready when you call me
But give me just a little more time

Lord, 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 gotta lot of things that I, I need to do
Before I leave this world behind
I'm ready when you call me
But give me just a little more time

Well I need a little time to labor for my Lord
Before the final judgment day
And 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'll try to make my lamp to shine
I'm ready when you call me
But give me just a little more time

Well, 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 gotta lot of things that I, I need to do
Before I leave this world behind
I'm ready when you call me
But give me just a little more time

Lord, 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 gotta lot of things that I, I need to do
Before I leave this world behind
I'm ready when you call me
Give me just a little more time
I'm ready when you call me, but give me just a little more time
