Here the labor is so hard and the workers are tired
|
And our weary hearts are longing for a rest
|
And we find we're getting anxious to be in that happy land
|
Where we'll enjoy some peace and happiness
|
chorus
|
|
We may look into the skies and tears wil fill our eyes
|
For our weary hearts grow heavy with each day
|
First we cry oh Lord please come,come and take our children home
|
And then we look around us and we say,
|
|
chorus
|
|
|
|
The family's scattered here and there but Lord we love them dear
|
And maybe we can help them find the way
|
Well if waiting is the cost well they might not be lost
|
Lord that's the reason why we say,
|
|
Chorus
|
|
But wait a little longer please Jesus
|
There's still so many wanderin' out in sin
|
Just a little longer please Jesus
|
Just a few more days to get our loved ones in
|
|

Wait A Little Longer, Please Jesus
