Wait a little longer, please Jesus

There are so many wanderin' 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 few

We find we're gettin' ready for a rest

And then we find that we're getting anxious just to be in that heavenly home

Where we will find such peace and happiness



Wait a little longer, please Jesus

There are so many wanderin' out in sin

Just a little longer, please Jesus

A few more days to get our loved ones in



Familys scatter everywhere and, Lord, we love them dear

And, maybe, we can help them find the way

But if waiting is the cost then they might not be lost

And that's the only reason why we say



Wait a little longer, please Jesus

There are so many wanderin' out in sin

Just a little longer, please Jesus

A few more days to get our loved ones in
