Here the labor is so hard,
and the workers are so tired,
And we find we're getting anxious
to be in that happy land,
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.
We may look into the skies
grow heavier with each day
And we cry, Lord, please come,
come take your children home
But then we look around us and we say
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
Family's scattered here and there
But Lord, we love them dear
And maybe we can help them find the way
And if waiting is the cost,
that they may not be lost,
then that's the only reason
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
A few more days to get our loved ones in
