Porter Wagoner Wait A Little Longer Please Jesus lyrics

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

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

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

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

The family scattered here and there but Lord, we love them dear
And maybe we can help them find a way
Then if waiting is the cost that they may not be lost
Lord, that's the only reason why we say

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
