a little longer - jenn johnson - a must listen

A Little Longer
Jenn Johnson

What can I do for You?
What can I bring to You?
What kind of song would you like me to sing?

'Cause I'll dance a dance for You
Pour out my love to You
What can I do for You beautiful king?

'Cause I... can't thank You enough.
I can't thank You enough

All of the words that I find... and I can't thank You enough.
No matter how I try... I can't thank You enough.
Then I hear You sing to me

"You... don't have to do a thing
Just simply be with me and let those things go
'Cause they can wait another minute

Wait... this moment is too sweet
Would you please stay here with Me
And love on Me a little longer
I'd love to be with you a little longer
'Cause I'm in love with you"


one version says:

you don't have to do a thing. just simply be with me and let the housework go, the kids can wait another minute, wait - this moment is too sweet...

speaks volumes to me about how much Jesus just wants to be in relationship with us. be still and know. don't be a martha doing work work work for him, be a mary at his feet, with him, soaking in and receiving Him.

  1. I was thinking along the lines of mary at his feet before I got to the end of your post :) Very timely as I've been a martha for months now trying to get my household and family back up and running after the move. Thanks for a lovely reminder to not neglect my most important relationship and to take time to sit at His feet. You are so right ~ a must listen :)
