As my old pastor reminded me today, some old hymn writers felt as we do about the rapture. Maybe I should have posted this in the music section, but it seems to fit better here. I pray the words encourage you.
JUST A LITTLE LONGER
Just a little longer,
And the trumpet of God shall sound.
Just a little longer,
And we’ll be glory-bound,
Look away to Jesus
Your redemption draweth nigh.
Just a little longer,
And we’ll meet Him in the sky.
JUST A LITTLE WHILE TO STAY HERE
1. Soon this life will all be over
And our pilgrimage will end.
Soon we’ll take our Heavenly 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.
CHORUS
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 through the pearly gates.
2. Soon we’ll see the lights of morning
And the new day will begin.
Soon we’ll hear the Father calling:
“Come my children, enter in”.
And we’ll hear a choir of angels
Singing out the victory song
All our troubles will be ended
And we’ll be with Heaven’s throng.
JUST A LITTLE LONGER
Just a little longer,
And the trumpet of God shall sound.
Just a little longer,
And we’ll be glory-bound,
Look away to Jesus
Your redemption draweth nigh.
Just a little longer,
And we’ll meet Him in the sky.
