Thread Name: ADD: I Shall Wear a Crown (Arizona Dranes)
Subject: ADD: Watch Thee Therefore
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
