Wait A Little Longer
Please Jesus

Here the labor is so hard and the workers they are tired
And our weary hearts are yearning for a rest
And I find we're getting anxious to be in that happy home
Where we'll receive such peace and happiness

But wait a little longer please Jesus there are so many wandering out in sin
Just a little longer please Jesus a few more days to get our loved ones in

Family scattered here and there and thought Lord we love them dear
Maybe we can help them find a way
But if waiting is the cost dear ol' Lord then I'll be lost
And that's the only reason why we say

Wait a little longer please Jesus...
A few more days to get our loved ones in.
