My Warfare Will Soon Be Over
As recorded by Ginny Hawker

Does anyone have any information about this song?


A
My Lord was a wayward pilgrim
He traveled around from door to door
His chiefest occupation
            G                A
Was administering to the poor.

They say my Lord had a devil
They thought his saints the same
I don't expect nothing here
But sorrow, grief and pain.

(Chorus)
A
My warfare will soon be over
My race will soon be run
My warfare will soon be over
            G       A
Then I'm going home.

God bless them Holiness people
And the Presbyterians too
And the good ole shouting Methodists
And the prayin' Baptists too.

And when I get to heaven
I want you to be there too
And when you hear me say "Amen"
I want to hear you say so too.
