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
