Wait A Little Longer, Please Jesus Lyrics - Merle Haggard

Here the labor is so hard and the workers they are tired 

And our weary hearts're yearning for a rest 

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

Where we'll receive such peace and happiness 

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 

Family scattered here and there and thought Lord we love them dear 

Maybe we can help them find a way 

But if waiting is the cost dear ol' Lord then I'll be lost 

And that's the only reason why we say 

Wait a little longer please Jesus 

A few more days to get our loved ones in
