Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Soon it will be done
Trouble of the world
Trouble of the world
Trouble of the world
[Verse 2]
Soon it will be done
Trouble of the world
Going home to live with God
[Verse 3]
No more weepin' and wailin'
No more weepin' and wailin'
No more weepin' and wailin'
Going home to live with my Lord
[Verse 4]
Soon it will be done
Trouble of the world
Trouble of the world
Trouble, Lord, of this world
[Verse 5]
Soon it will be done
Trouble of the world
Going home to live with my Lord
[Verse 6]
I want to see my mother
I want to see my mother
I want to see my mother
Going home to live with God
[Verse 7]
Soon it will be done
Trouble of the world
Trouble of the world
Trouble of this world
How soon it will be done
With the trouble of the world
I'm going home to live
With God
