Just A Few More Days
A.P. Carter
Not so long ago one morning
Mother called me to her bed
Then she threw her arms around me
Listen to the words she said
Darling I am going to leave you
But you'll not be left alone
Jesus will protect and shield you
After he has carried me home
Just a few more days of sorrow
Just a few more days of pain
Just a few more days of cloudness
Just a few more days of rain
Then I'm going to live with Jesus
He has got a home prepared
Then I'll join the holy angels
Mother will be waiting there
Sometimes I am sorely tempted
Sometimes I am sorely tried
But to overcome I'm trying
Taking Jesus as my guide
Oh sometimes the path seems rugged
But it only makes me pray
And I know if I keep trying
I'll see my mother some sweet day
