03 Oct 15 - 03:36 PM (#3741573) Subject: ADD: Watch Thee Therefore From: cnd The chorus parts are the parts the chorus sings, and Arizona sings basically the same thing over-top of them at a different speed. I also found that this one is typically called "Watch Ye, Therefore" due to the fact that it has the same name as another gospel song. Her version is different from those lyrics, too, though, except the first verse and some of the chorus. WATCH YE, THEREFORE Watch ye therefore, you know not today When the Lord shall call your soul away If you're laboring, strivin' for the right You shall wear a golden crown I shall wear a crown, I shall wear a crown. When the trumpet sounds, when the trumpet sounds ohhhhh I shall wear a crown, I shall wear a crown. I shall wear a golden crown I shall wear a crown, I shall wear a crown When the trumpet sounds, when the trumpet sounds ohhhhh I shall wear a crown, I shall wear a crown I shall wear a golden crown Don't be like the foolish words of men For He is coming and you know not when Have your lamppost trimmed and burning bright You shall wear a golden crown I shall wear a crown, I shall wear a crown When the trumpet sounds, when the trumpet sounds ohhhhh I shall wear a crown, I shall wear a crown I shall wear a golden crown I shall wear a crown, I shall wear a crown When the trumpet sounds, when the trumpet sounds ohhhhh I shall wear a crown, I shall wear a crown I shall wear a golden crown [Instrumental break] They took my blessed savior, nailed him to the tree Hear the heavin' ringin' by the victory Oh dear won't ya put the Savior down But for me to hold the crown I shall wear a crown, I shall wear a crown When the trumpet sounds, when the trumpet sounds ohhhhh I shall wear a crown, I shall wear a crown I shall wear a golden crown Transcribed from the Arizona Dranes recording, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79hhWYVY75s |

26 Feb 16 - 10:22 PM (#3775272) Subject: RE: ADD: I Shall Wear a Crown (Arizona Dranes) From: GUEST The first two verses of this song borrow from the parable of the wise and foolish virgins, (Matthew 25: 1-13), with a direct quote from 25:13. The last verse refers to the crucifixion. Watch ye therefore you know not the day When the Lord shall call your soul away. If you're laboring, striving for the right You shall wear a golden crown Don't be like the foolish virgins then For he's coming, and you know not when Have your lamp soaked, trimmed and burning bright You shall wear a golden crown! They took my blessed savior, nailed him to the tree Hear the hammer ringing, cried out victory From his wounds the blood come streaming down Won for me a golden crown |
