C                                   F              C
Here the labor is so hard and the workers are so tired
                                      G7
And our weary hearts are yearning for a rest   
         C                           F                  C
And we find we're getting anxious to be in that happy land
                           G7        C
Where we'll receive such peace and happiness

                              G7
Wait a little longer please Jesus
                                    C
There are so many wandering out in sin  
                              G7
Just a little longer please Jesus
                                      C
A few more days to get our loved ones in  

                                F                  C
We may look into the skies and tears may fill our eyes
                                               G7
For our burdened heart grows heavier with each day   
          C                       F                  C
First we cry oh Lord please come take your children home
                        G7         C
But then we look around us and we say

                              G7
Wait a little longer please Jesus
                                    C

Family scattered here and there and thought Lord we love them dear
                              G7
Maybe we can help them find a way
          C                 F                          C
But if waiting is the cost dear ol' Lord then I'll be lost
                     G7            C
And that's the only reason why we say

                              G7
Wait a little longer please Jesus
