“Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also gone. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven like a beautiful bride prepared for her husband. I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, the home of God is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them. He will remove all of their sorrows, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. For the old world and its evils are gone forever” (Revelation 21:1-4 NLT).
WE’LL SOON BE DONE WITH TROUBLES AND TRIALS
Cleavant Derricks
1934
1. Some of these days I’m going home
Where no sorrows ever come,
(We’ll soon be done)
We’ll soon be done with troubles and trials;
(Troubles and trials)
Safe from Heartaches, pain and care,
We shall all that glory share,
(And I’m gonna)
Sit down beside my Jesus,
(Lord, I’m gonna)
Sit down and rest a little while.
Chorus:
(We’ll soon be done)
We’ll soon be done with troubles and trials,
(Troubles and trials. In that home)
Yes, in that home on the other side,
(On the other side, and I’m gonna)
Shake glad hands with the elders,
(Lord, and)
Tell my kindred good morning,
(Then I’m gonna)
Sit down beside my Jesus,
(Lord, I’m)
Gonna sit down and rest a li’l while.
2. Kindred and friends now wait for me,
Soon their faces I shall see,
(We’ll soon be done)
We’ll soon be done with troubles and trials;
(Troubles and trials)
‘Tis a home of Life so fair
And we’ll all be gathered there,
(And I’m gonna)
Sit down beside my Jesus,
(Lord, I’m gonna)
Sit down and rest a little while.
Chorus:
3. I shall behold his blessed face,
I shall feel his matchless grace,
(We’ll soon be done)
We’ll soon be done with troubles and trials;
(Troubles and trials)
O what peace and joy sublime
In that home of love divine,
(And I’m gonna)
Sit down beside my Jesus,
(Lord, I’m gonna)
Sit down and rest a little while.
Chorus:
End:
Gonna sit down and rest a li’l while,
(Gonna sit down and rest a li’l while.)
