1)
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 receive such peace and happiness.
CHORUS
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
2)
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, and take your children home.
But then we look around us and say.
3)
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, that they might not be lost.
Lord that's the only reason why we say.
