My lord told his disciple after I am risen and gone |
|
You will meet with troubles and trials. Bide by my rebukes and scorn. |
|
You can rebuke me all you want to I'm traveling home to God |
|
I'm well acquainted with the crosses and all my ways are hard. |
|
Chorus: |
|
My warfare will soon be ended my race is almost run. |
|
My warfare will soon be ended and I am going home. |
|
They say my lord is a devil they call his saints the same |
|
I'm not expecting anymore down here than grief and scorn and shame. |
|
Chorus |
|
God bless them holiness people the Christians and the Jews |
|
and all the children of Abraham , the praying Muslims too. |
|
Chorus |
|
And when I get to heaven I want to see you there |
|
And when I say Amen I want you to say so too. |
|
Chorus |
