[Lyric] Wait A Little Longer Please Jesus (Stonewall Jackson)

[Verse 1]
Here the labor is so hard and the workers are so tired
And our weary hearts keep yearning for a rest
And we find we're getting anxious to be in that happy land
Where we'll receive such peace and happiness

[Chorus]
But wait 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

[Verse 2]
We may look into the skies and the tears will fill our eyes
For our burdened hearts grows heavier with each day
First we cry, oh Lord, please come and take your children home
But then we look around us and we say

[Chorus]
Wait a little longer please Jesus
There's so many wandering out in sin
Just a little longer please Jesus
A few more days to get our loved ones in
[Verse 3]
The family's scattered here and there but Lord, we love them dear
And maybe we can help them find their way
So if waiting is the cost that they may not be lost
Lord, that's the only reason why we say

[Chorus]
Wait a little longer please Jesus
There's so many wandering out in sin
Just a little longer please Jesus
A few more days to get our loved ones in
