Wait A Little Longer, Please Jesus Lyrics - Bill Monroe

Here the labor is so hard and the workers are tired 

And our weary hearts are longing for a rest 

And we find we're getting anxious to be in that happy land 

Where we'll enjoy some peace and happiness 

chorus 

We may look into the skies and tears wil fill our eyes 

For our weary hearts grow heavy with each day 

First we cry oh Lord please come,come and take our children home 

And then we look around us and we say, 

chorus 

The family's scattered here and there but Lord we love them dear 

And maybe we can help them find the way 

Well if waiting is the cost well they might not be lost 

Lord that's the reason why we say, 

Chorus 

But wait a little longer please Jesus 

There's still so many wanderin' out in sin 

Just a little longer please Jesus 

Just a few more days to get our loved ones in
