Trouble Will Soon Be Over
Blind Willie Johnson / Jörgen Elofsson
Trouble will soon be over, sorrow will have an end
Trouble will soon be over, sorrow will have an end
Christ is my burden bearer
He's my only friend
I tell him all my sorrows
He tells me to lean on him
God is my strong protector
He's my bosom friend
If trouble arise all around me
I know who'll take me in
He proved a friend to David
He hid him in a cave
The same God that David served
Will give me rest someday
Though my burden may be heavy
It may even crush me down
Some day I'll rest with Jesus
And wear a starry crown
I'll take this yoke upon me
And live a Christian life
I'll take Jesus for my saviour
My burden will be light
Trouble will soon be over, sorrow will have an end
Trouble will soon be over, sorrow will have an end
