My Lord told his disciples

G         G7       C
After I'm risen and gone

Cm
You'll meet with troubles and trials

G         G7          C
Bear your rebukes and scorns


C
My warfare will soon be ended

G          G7    C
My race is almost run

Cm
My warfare will soon be ended

G   G7    C
I'm comin' home


C
You can rebuke me all you want to

G             G7      C
I'm travelin' home to God

Cm
I'm well-acquainted with the crosses

G          G7       C
And all my ways are hard

God bless them holiness people

I when I say "Amen"

G             G7    C
I want you to say so too

My race is almost run

My warfare will soon be ended

       G7    C
And I'm comin' home

G       G7    C
And I'm comin' home

G       G7    C
And I'm comin' home
