Blind Willie Johnson - Trouble Will Soon Be Over

 

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 Go 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
