0228B ”JUST ONE MORE” (SONG OF THE WEEK)

(Thirty years ago, Pauline Williams recorded an album, for which this was the title song. I had the privilege of writing most of the songs and producing the album. I have tried to transfer it from cassette tape to digital. Her voice more than makes up for the missing fidelity. It's a theory as to why the second coming of Jesus has been postponed.)

Two thousand years have come and gone

In heaven just two days

Generations come and go on earth

In heaven it's unchanged

But now the Judge has seen enough

He's standing at the door

The patience of a holy God will bear His wrath no more.

He signals to His captain who gives the victory sign

Ten thousand soldiers draw their swords and mount their steeds to ride

The Lamb who's seated on the throne now stands to take His bride

Anticipating long this day to bring her to His side

He's seen too much of war and hate

Too much of sin and death

He readies for the signal as all heaven holds its breath.

And as the trumpet starts to sound to give the victory cry

Again the Father raised His hand and a tear comes to His eye

And he says,

"Wait!

Just one more.

Let just one more precious child come home to call Me Lord.

Let just one more person hear.

I'm not willing one should perish.

So wait.

Wait for

Just one more.

Wait. Just one more . . . 

For two thousand years I've waited to avenge this world of blood

But two thousand years of waiting can't decrease a Father's love

There's a soul that's in the balance

One I've loved enough to win

I'm not willing one should perish

So let's wait again for him.

And wait.

Wait for

Just one more . . . 

So wait . . . 

Wait for . . . 

Just one more . . . 

One more . . . 

Just one more . . .
