Way a little longer, please, Jesus There are so many wandering out in sin
Just a little longer, please, Jesus A few more days to get our loved ones in
If the labor is so hard and the workers are so tired
And their weary hearts are yearning for rest
And we find we're getting anxious to be in that happy land
Where we'll receive such peace and happiness
Wait a little longer, please, Jesus
There are so many wandering out in sin
There are so many wandering out in sin
Just a little longer, please, Jesus
A few more days to get our loved ones in
We look into the sky and tears will fill our eyes
And our weary hearts grow heavier with each day
We cry, O Lord, please come and take your children home
But then we look around us and we say
Way a little longer, please, Jesus
There are so many wandering out in sin
Just a little longer, please, Jesus
A few more days to get our loved ones in
