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? (Ooooooh....)
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? (Ooooooh....)
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? (Ooooooh....)
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? (Ooooooh....)
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? (Ooooooh....)
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? (Ooooooh....)
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? (Ooooooh....)

By the time Amy Grant was nineteen, she was Contemporary Christian music’s most celebrated singer. Grant grew up in the Church of Christ where she sang for God two nights a week. As a teen, she decided to pursue a career in music, writing her first song while attending devotional meetings at her high school.

Grant recorded a demo while working as an intern at a recording studio and the owner was so impressed he signed her to his own label and released her first album Amy Grant in 1977. It spawned three top 10 songs on Billboard’s Christian Songs chart.

The following year, Grant began touring while balancing college studies. Her second album My Father’s Eyes was released in April 1979. At its record release party, she met future first husband gospel singer Gary Chapman. He’d written its title track, and it would become her first of many Christian Songs Chart-toppers. Her third album Never Alone came out in 1981 and features the #3 Christian Songs hit “Look What Has Happened To Me”.
