John Scofield - Just a Little While to Stay Here lyrics

Soon this life will all be over And our pilgrimage will end Soon we'll take our heavenly journey Yeah, and be at home with friends again Heaven's gates are standing open Waiting for our entrance there Some sweet day we're going over And all the beauties there to share That's why I'm saying 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 Oh, just a little more of sorrow In this low and sinful state Then we'll enter heaven's portals Sweeping through those pearly gates Just a little while to stay here Just a little while to wait, oh Just a little while to labor In the path that's always straight Oh, just a little more of sorrow In this low and sinful state Then we'll enter heaven's portals Sweeping through the pearly gates
