Wait a little longer please, Jesus
There are so many still wandering out in sin
Just a little longer please, Jesus
A few more days to get our loved ones in
Here the labor is so hard and the workers are so tired
And our weary hearts are yearning for a rest
And we find we're getting anxious to be in that happy land
Where we'll receive such peace and happiness
Wait a little longer please, Jesus
There are so many still wandering out in sin
Just a little longer please, Jesus
A few more days to get our loved ones in
We may look into the skies and tears will fill our eyes
When our burdened hearts grow heavier with each day
First we cry, oh Lord, please come, come and take your children home
Then we look around and suddenly we say
Wait a little longer please, Jesus
There are so many still wandering out in sin
Just a little longer please, Jesus
A few more days to get our loved ones in
