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 

CHORUS:
In a little while 
We'll be with the Father 
Can't you see Him smile 
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 
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
