Bill Monroe Wait A Little Longer, Please Jesus Lyrics

Wait A Little Longer, Please Jesus Lyrics

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
