Just a Little While
Jillian Edwards Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In just a little while there'll be no pain
No suffering, crying, or tears
The old way of things will have passed on
And all will have changed

And your bright shining face
Will see the light of day
Once and for all
Darkness will die
Oh, until then
I will hold your hand

So lay your head down beside me
Let me tell you how I love you so
And the privilege of walking this world with
You till eternity shows

His bright shining face
Just like the light of day
Once and for all
Darkness will die
Oh, until then
I will hold

Your hand holds me all through the night
I know we can't be separated by anything at all

In just a little while, he'll restore us
Every scar and wound finally healed
And like dust that covers and old frame
Swept away for a picture's reveal

In just a little while
Just a little while





Just a little while
Just a little while
