Lyrics
Wait a little longer, please, Jesus
There are so many wanderin', have sinned
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 tired
And their weary hearts are yearning for a rest
And they find they're getting anxious
To be in that happy land
Where they'll receive, such peace and happiness
Wait a little longer, please, Jesus
There are so many wanderin', have sinned
Just a little longer, please, Jesus
A few more days, to get our loved ones in
We look into the skies, and tears will fill our eyes
And our weary hearts grow heavier, with each day
We cry, oh Lord, please, come
And take your children home
But, then we look around us, and we say
Wait a little longer, please, Jesus
There are so many wanderin', have sinned
Just a little longer, please, Jesus
A few more days, to get our loved ones in
