[jr55ful]

[TheMercyTree]

This is real

[pdotstock]

Toronto band "The Schomberg Fair" does an amazing cover of this song on their album Gospel.

[98SLABRIDER]

Gospel actually.

[geeloof]

the thirties new more trouble than we ever could....i hope

[ivan89705]

good rithm bluez

[ELVIS4221]

Oh, trouble’ll soon be over, sorrow will have an end

trouble’ll soon be over, oh sorrow will have an end

Well, Christ is my foot and fellow, He’s my only friend

Till the end of my sorrow and tells me to lean on Him

God is my strong protection, He’s my bosom friend

Trouble arose all around me, I know who will take me in

He proved a friend to David, and hid him in a cage

The same God that David served, will give me a rest someday

[ELVIS4221]

Well, though my burden may be heavy, my enemies crush me down

Someday I’ll rest with Jesus and wear a starry crown

I’ll take this yoke upon me and live a Christian life

Take Jesus for my Savior, my burden will be light

[YngwieBlackStar]

he was blind since he was 7years old,he was poor throughout all his life,he had malaria,his home burnt to the ground as he stayed there(he had nowhere to go) and the hospital refused him because he was black...

AND..

he sings "trouble will soon be over"!

He's got the blues..!

[raydar46]

Does anyone know the tuning on his guitar for this song?

[fngrpkn06]

So much feeling and soul!

[lacubfan1]

[dakotamanomgwtf]

@lacubfan1 He isn't in the rock and roll Hall of fame!?

[bluesoulady]

[miramaeluvu05]

Thank you for having this music on here! God Bless because I don't feel the praise in any christian music today like the way they felt it way back before I was born.

[mertletertle]

when my ex was perversely assaulting me whenever I was vulnerable - at the point of sleep, or in the middle of normal things- i could've sang this in the bathroom, lookin at those razors and pills, and saying no, my kids won't find their mama like that in here, no matter how i'm bleeding and oozing things i hate...oh, God, thank God, i'm still here and not go thru that NO more...thank u Jesus, for real!!!!!

[carlenefu]

@mertletertle no one should have to go through that...there are a lot of sick ppl in the world who don't have anything better to do than to hurt people and mess up their lives...it's good you got through it and that you are still here for your kids...

[tony1234872]

@mertletertle Amen, Jesus is always at the top of my mind, whenever I am in a hard time, I always think, Jesus has a plan for me. A vocation, I will fight until the end, because "someday I'll rest with Jesus and wear his stary crown." Amen.

@mertletertle

when I was a kid I told God about my abuse situation. . . . idea came to my head that if I could endure this I could endure anything. I walked outta there with a whole new attitude, and somehow the abuse just ended. For real.

@mertletertle Hallelujaaah!

[Phikay1]

@mertletertle Great truths are greatly won, not found by chance, nor wafted on the breath of summer dream; but grasped in the great struggle of the soul, Hard buffeting with adverse wind and stream. Now you have been equipped with such a truth, a truth to be a blessing to omeone else as you travel this journey of life. You're a strong woman of God!!

Continue to be blessed.

[KuolemaNox]

@mertletertle Thank God, and thank yourself for having the strength to get out of there!
