Grant, Amy - In A Little While Lyrics
Got a ticket coming home
Wish the officer had known
What a day today has been
Then I stumbled through the door
Dropping junk mail on the floor
But then your letter caught my eye
Brought the hope in me to life
Cause you know me very well
And I bet you wrote me just to tell me
[Chorus:]
In a little while
We'll be with the Father
Can't you see Him smile
In a little while
In a while
we're just here
To learn to love Him
We'll be home
In just a little while
Boy, that letter hit the spot
Made me think of all I've got
And all that waits for me
Guess I've known it all day long
Wonder where my thoughts went wrong
When will my heart believe
Wakin' half-way through the night
Reachin' toward the lamp for light
Pickin' up the Word I find
Here's another letter to remind me
[Chorus]
Days like these are just a test of our will
Will we walk or will we fall?
Well, I can almost see the top of the hill
And I believe it's worth it all

Grant, Amy In A Little While Comments
Can't get the first verses out of my head....timeless
What a pathetic christian, depress for getting a speeding ticket and dropped milk ,only in america,in other countries christians are burnt alive , beheaded and raped and yet the go on.Yeshua said rejoice when your persecuted, scorn and killed.shame on you if youre speeding,repent and get yourselve back together and when you drop the milk rejoice your the 2nd billion person whos done it.
Beautiful song!
Thank you God, that after the journey, we'll be home forever.
I love you Amy l like this song 😃😁😁😇😇😉😍😍😛love it a little while ❤❤❤💙
just love this song while growing up and up till now I still sing it,!
John 16;16
In a little while!!
Still coming back in 2019
Amo muito todas as músicas da Amy músicas lindas que me faz feliz desde minha infância Deus a abençoe sempre
digitally tanned cuz black and powerful is the new standard of beauty.
Linda musica marcou p mim
Thanks Amy for that inspiring song. It let us know we are only here temporary and in a little while we'll be with the FATHER. Your songs always inspired me. Love you sister.
In a little while??wish he'd hurry up.!!!
This song reminds me of a friend from the 80s she bought this album 4 me
Loved Amy and all her songs! Now I can't get over the "Father" and "Learning to Love Him" part. Hard to see God as a Man. Or is it about God? Anyone who replies, please speak proper English about Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior, as I am definitely schooled in the area. Still love the song...Lol. Just can't sing it as well and I am a singer.
This precious song made its way into my heart 30 + years ago; I am grateful that this encouragement was there to shape my perspective!
❤️
I am hanging onto HOPE of our eternal home as this body struggles to survive.
NOW is the time to learn to love Him! What a beautiful message.
Can't wait to go to heaven no tablets etc praise God for that
what a beautiful day today 12/14/2018 that I am listening to Amy Grant. Keith Green and other. Good memories of when I was much younger, no relationship, no bills to pay, no unnecessary fantasies, just simply living for the Lord and serving Him.
Amy Grant louvor lindo de mais vem cantar no Brasil teama
Wow how can you not love Amy Grant as a christian music singer? She is such an amazing singer and I was a little kid of 5 years old compared to that woman!
Oh yes in a little while
For this reason, we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of man, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe. 1 Thessalonians 3:13, The apostle Paul
“In a little while “
Amy Grant 😇
Let me preface with, "Yeah, I'm old!" Lol! When I was younger, Age to Age was on a constant loop in our car's 8-track player. I LOVE all these old songs! Amy, Bob and Pauline Wilson, Evie Tornquist ....Great music!
This song reminds me when I met my ex-wife.
Amy grant loved her music memory ..

In a little while~ YESSSSS! Soon very soon! ❤
Truly a classic in CCM and a comfort that "in a little while we will be with the Father"!
YESSS , in a little while 💖😇. We'll be with the Father Jesus Christ 😇💖🙌
This takes me back to the eighties and when my faith was stronger
I will be with Jesus soon. I am 64 yrs old! And I know Him as my personal Savior and Lord!
When i was sweet, before the destructive relationships that reduced my light to a tiny thin line, when the only thing that mattered was my relationship with my Creator and Savior. It's time to remember who i am and Who has called me, and ask that those cruel days will be a testimony to help others.
Your Creator is with arms wide open to receive you. God's love is available for you.
yes!!! I grew up listening to this awesome song.. it gives me happiness. I want to wait to see the Lord that loves
Love Love Love this song. Tech question: Amy’s voice characteristics seem to change quite a bit on the lower notes. A good example starts at 1:34-1:50. Are the lower notes “Amy”? Is the song edited so that those lower notes were pasted in? in other words, we hear Amy sing those lower notes as if it was all sung in one take, but were those lower notes edited in?
I guess that we all have "one f those days" some times. This song helps keeps my attention focused on my future with Him, so I canget through ANYTHING knowing that He's right there, going through it WITH ME!! Thank YOU,LORD!!
My mom (a black woman) would sing this at our church, she made it sound like Whitney Houston sang it!
She's gone and I'm no longer Christian but I still sing it all the time. 💙💓
I Love Amy Grant!
Reminds me of my childhood. Love this
Belíssima canção!! Linda demais!!
Ela e de que igreja ?
I've been a fan of Amy's since she hit the scenes in the early 80's and her music always makes me cry like a baby thinking of the goodness of Christ....always puts me back in place-Thanks Sister Amy!
oh I needed to hear this song, thank you Lord
one of my brothers favorite , now hes with the father and i can see him smile , we are just here to learn to love him
THIS SONG TAKES MEBACK A FEW DECADES. LOVE IT
These lyrics are baby christian or apostate. The saints will be resurrected and raptured to be with Jesus Christ on this earth for 1,000 years. Then, only after the 7 days of history is complete, the Father will join us. This is the biblical progression of events, but I don't think that's what she meant.
This was my mother's last song she heard before she passed @ 10:59 pm August 2, 2016. I was bedside next to her on that moment. I'm her one of two daughters. She raised us with great faith in believing in Jesus. I played this song to her as she passed and called my sister who's out of state, so she could be a part of the last moments. I'll never be complete.
Wow! What a blessing for your Mom to pass peacefully, listening to such beautiful music. My Mom passed on September 15, 2016. She passed with a trauma team trying to save her life. Everytime she would begin to breath on her own, they would stop, and she would stop breathing again. After about the 5th time we let her go. My sister and I were together.
wow your mum soubds amazing xx bet you miss her xx
God bless you, sister. Thank you for sharing. God is good.
jebeanz God grace and comfort will always be sufficient for you dear.
your letter caught my eye........she means reading scripture out of bible........how cool!
truely ageless
shes so beatiful and her music is so up lifting.
Jesus is on the way to get His Bride
Amen to that!,!!
Listening to Amy Grant songs after my "spiritual birth" good worship music
Don Lee
Welcome to the family! Halleluyah! I pray that you are growing by the day. I'll see you at home. God bless you !
First time I've ever seen Amy playing the piano. She's pretty good at it, too!
I used to think it said "Dropping chocolate on the floor."
Hahaha!!! That's cute. And it still works.
This song is so beautiful, and when I'm having one of "those days", it helps me to remember that, soon, all this world's mess will be over and we'll be with Him Forever.
Maureen Hannon Amen
so true, Jesus is coming
well said x

Got a ticket coming home,
Wish the officer had known
What a day today has been.
Then I stumbled through the door,
Dropping junk mail on the floor.
When will this day end?
But then your letter caught my eye,
Brought the hope in me to life,
'cause you know me very well,
And I bet you wrote me
Just to tell me,
In a little while,
We'll be with the father;
Can't you see him smile? (oh)
In a little while,
We'll be home forever,
In a while
We're just here to learn to love him;
We'll be home in just a little while.
Boy, that letter hit the spot
Made me think of all I've got,
And all that waits for me.
Guess I've known it all day long;
Wonder where my thoughts went wrong.
When will my heart believe?
Waking half way through the night,
Reaching toward the lamp for light,
Picking up the word I find;
Here's another letter
To remind me.
In a little while,
We'll be with the father;
Can't you see him smile? (oh)
In a little while,
We'll be home forever,
In a while....
We're just here to learn to love him;
We'll be home in just a little while.
Days like these are just a test of our will.
Will we walk or will we fall?
Well, I can almost see the top of the hill,
And I believe it's worth it all.
In a little while,
We'll be with the father;
Can't you see him smile? (oh)
In a little while,
We'll be home forever,
In a while
We're just here to learn to love him;
We'll be home in just a little while.
In a little while,
We'll be with the father;
Can't you see him smile? (oh)
In a little while,
We'll be home forever,
In a while....
We're just here to learn to love him;
We'll be home in just a little
In a little while,
We'll be with the father;
Can't you see him smile? (oh)
In a little while,
We'll be home forever,
In a while....
We're just here to learn to love him;
We'll be home in just a little
In a little while,
We'll be with the father;
Can't you see him smile? (oh)
In a little while,
We'll be home forever,
In a while....
We're just here to learn to love him;
We'll be home in just a little
In a little while,
We'll be with the father;
Can't you see him smile? (oh)
Thanks for the lyrics!

This song renews my hope. Thank you God.
This song has always comforted me.
Amen to that!
Jennifer Tarot Johnson yis ha
It is doing just that now. I have had a hard day, like the intro, and it hits the spot perfectly!
Yes me too 😁😀👍👌💜💛
Just love this song. Beautiful. The Christian's hope
Campbell I will keep you in prayer. if you understand the words of Amy Grant then you may really know and acceptJesus in your life as your Lord & Savior. I will keep you in prayer that the Lord hears you and intervenes in your life to show you his love and the plans He has for you. Open your eyes and heart. God made you you're not here by accident!! Maybe then you will be willing to receive his gift of salvation. God loves you.
I see a duet with peter cetera and mr ed what do you see?
Mr. Ed and Dolly Parton maybe.
blasphemy are you being silly may i suggest annie lennox and justin beaver
I don't want to see my father he wasn't very nice
Campbell, live for Jesus, and in a little while you will see your heavenly Father. My dad was not the best because he came from an abusive home-both his mother and dad, and he attempted his best not to be like them. He accepted the Lord, and asked the Lord to help him with his temper, but sometimes it got the best of him. Maybe your dad asked the Lord to help him before he died. Either way, there will be no tears in heaven and no disappointments or pain anymore. We will live in a place where sin can not corrupt or bother us anymore and where righteousness and peace dwells.
And He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be death; there will no longer be sorrow and anguish, or crying, or pain; for the former things [of life] will not be remembered or come to mind or the former order of things has passed away. And He who sits on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also He said, “Write, for these words are faithful and true [they are accurate, incorruptible, and trustworthy].”
So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are. In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered A LITTLE WHILE, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation. All power to him forever! Amen.
i'm sorry i am sure you are a decent wonderful human being but you are just lost in your fanatical christianese and strangeness. the devil is gay isn't he and all the rest of your horror those of use who have had to live with christian families in christian countries all know the hell we face i know where i am going after this life and it is hell i am not afraid of a heterosexual devil. it's all about dwiving Nicely so whe you get into your twuck please don't run down those us us who are sinners who are hated by god
i love this song because i love amy not in a heterosexual way because that wood be heterosexual lust that leads to death but in a way that in my loneliness and hell because of sicko christainsa and their unholy hypocrasy and stupidity amy centers me and takes me back to a time where the gay devil had less control over my original sin mind it's so hard to love christians and their sick shit it's just gay. i am now going to sing this song through the tears rising in my eyes making it hard for me to see sing with me it will only bring honar to satan

YOU CAN CONTACT. ME AT [email protected]
HI AMY THIS IS SPAZ THE DRUMMER IF YOU GET A MINUTE CAN YOU CHECK OUT A SONG THE LORD PUT ON MY HEART TO WRITE IT IS ON YOUTUBE THE NAME OF THE SONG IS CALLED I PICK UP MY CROSS & DAILY I WALK
TY Jesus!
all time lovely
I remember this song for when I was younger I've been searching for so long but now it'll just be a little while till I hit the add to playlist button
I can relate to this song. We've all had one of those days. The hard times make us appreciate Him more.
She is my favorite singer. I dance and sing with her all the time, down the streets.
Nina Louise McCutcheon I bet that's some beautiful dance too.
What a beautiful song!
Music done right, Thank you Amy.
one of my all time favorites
Amy's music has always been among my very favorite
All I can say is, Thank you Amy Grant, first time I heard her, secret Santa gave me a mixture of her Christmas songs, and regular songs off her album Straight Ahead, to this day, I love every song that was on that tape, the music, the songs, her voice, touched my heart and soul.
I enjoyed that tape right along with you.
This song is an eternal favorite of mine. I grew up listening to it. Love it. The words are reassuring. Bless you Amy Grant wherever you are.
One of those days for me...ahhh in a little while we will be with the Father!!! Amen!!! We are just here to learn to love him!!!
you go out to your mail box and it's full again of bills. there will not be any miracles and you'll have to move home to fanatical unfun mommy cult but if you have a garden hose it's amazing what you can survive
this song is probably now 32yrs and counting I was 20 when I heard this song
Wow dint know it was that old Amy Grants classic stuff l was about 8 and nine in them days
I love the older songs, especially Amy!! So much better then what we have today!
Me too! I'm only 31 but I have always loved the CCM from the 70s and 80s. I don't listen to modern Christian music, it still has the same message but sometimes a little diluted but most of it is way to rocky and secular sounding for me. Give me Amy, Sandi, Keith Green, Dallas Holm, Harvest, Farrell & Farrell, and so many more any day over the modern artists. It's a shame most of the classic albums are out-of-print but I was fortunate to build my collection on CD years ago and still enjoy listening to them today. Their message never changes just the messengers I guess
Wore this tape out several times. Got it on CD now. LOVE IT!
you should listen to the record if you ever get a chance. the CD is cutting something out I can't put my finger on but it definitely sounds better.
Ive felt that way many times thats my life.
You can keep up with her career and music at : http://amygrant.com/
katy perry eat your heart out what a waste and a shame
i wander where is amy grant right now
her voice is very mellow
I love this song. It brings tears to my eyes
This is a great song ! I remember when i first heard Amy grant back in the early eighties . I went to the music store in the mall and i was going to buy another tape and saw a tape by Amy Grant i didn't know any songs but decided to buy her tape ! Her songs brought me through my teenage years ! Thank you Amy Grant !
I was at camp and saw a music book of her songs from her Never Alone album. As soon as I got home I bought her albums.
Amazing!!! Also helped me through Childhood & Teens yrs! GOD BLESS & LOVE ❤ AMY GRANT !!!
Very Great song , I love all of Amy Grant's Music.
the piano intro... amy's voice... just melts me. wonderful.
This takes me back
Love her music
will wee walk or will we crawl I can say i'm over the hill and its all been worth while soon we will all be in Abrahams bosoms cant wait
I have always loved this song & have been looking for it for yrs! It's such a reminder that the pain & heartache we feel on this earth is only temporary. That IN A BLINK OF AN EYE we will be HONE!
Hang in there. The kingdom of God is within you. Every moment of this life is a blessing. It may not feel like it sometimes but God is with you every step of the way!
Full of pain here want Jesus to take me home! Cant wait to see him smile
I know there are so many people out there, even younger ones that need to hear this album, especially this song. "We're just here to learn to love him."
This music reflects the true Amy Grant, showcasing her gospel and CCM roots. She has dealt well with those people who criticised her for going into mainstream pop 25 years ago.
