Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
Give Me Just a Little More Time
Give Me Just a Little More Time
Give Me Just a Little More Time
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.
as recorded by E. C. Ball and Orna Ball, 1972
