Here the labor is so hard 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 home

Where we'll reseive such peace and happiness



But 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

For our burdened hearts grow heavier with each day

First we cry oh Lord please come come and take your children home

But then we look around us and say



Wait a little longer please Jesus...



The family scattered here and there but Lord we love them dear

And maybe we can help them find a way

But if waiting is the cost then might not be lost

Lord that's the only reason why we say



Wait a little longer please Jesus...
