Del Reeves Wait A Little Longer Please Jesus Lyrics

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

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

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
Come and take your children home
But then we look around us and say 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

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 then might not be lost
Lord that's the only reason why we say

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
