my Lord told his disciples

after I'm risen and gone

you'll meet with troubles and trialsbear your rebukes and scorns



my warfare will soon be ended

my race is almost run

my warfare will soon be ended

and I'm coming home



you can rebuke me all you want to

I'm travelling home to God

I'm well acquainted with the crossesand all my ways are hard



they say my lord is the devil

they call his saints the same

I don't expect much more down herethan grief and scorn and shame



God bless them holiness people

the Presbyterians too

those good old shouting Methodists

those praying Baptists too



tnd when you get to heaven

I wanna see you there

tnd when I say amen

I want you to say so too



my warfare will soon be ended

my race is almost run

my warfare will soon be ended

and I'm coming home

I'm coming home
