She was just 16 Blonde hair and full of life Livin' on Monday like she lived on Sunday Could have made a wonderful wife But in an instant she was gone No goodbyes, no calls on the phone Just friends left behind Chorus: How much longer will you wait? How much time will it take For the Spirit to touch your heart my friend? He's begging and pleading to come in He's trying time and time again Before it gets too late All her friends gather 'round Hear of the real sad news There's more pain now in their young hearts No comforting words will do They need the peace found in Him No excuses, no more lies Just givin' it to the Lord Repeat Chorus I hear the trumpet sound There in the distant sky Flashes of light and rays of hope As Jesus claims His bride In an instant He will come No more begging, no more pleading It's time to go home Repeat Chorus (x2) Before it gets too late Before it gets too late
