A Little Longer
âEnough with anger, leave rage aside.â Psalm 37:8
From the Album The Psalms
Do not worry about the wicked ones
Do not envy what they do wrong
For like grass will they be quickly cut
Fade like green in the field
A little longer they will be no more
Search for them and they will not be there
For the humble shall own this earth
Itâs for them
As for the wicked who draw the sword
Who bend the bow to harm this earth
Their swords will only pierce their own hearts
And their bows will be smashed
A little longer they will be no more
Search for them and they will not be there
For the humble shall own this earth
Itâs for them
Trust in God, do what is good
Make your home, a place of peace
Trust in God, God will reveal
All that your heart desires
A little longer they will be no more
Search for them and they will not be there
For the humble shall own this earth
Itâs for them
Donât get angry, donât get mad
Donât talk badly of those who have
Make your virtue clear as the light
As bright as high noon
A little longer they will be no more
Search for them and they will not be there
For the humble shall own this earth
Itâs for them
