Trouble Soon Be Over

Blue of a Kind from Melrose, MA, sings Blind Willie Johnson's blues song from the 1920's. Musical arrangement by the director, based on Geoff Muldaur's treatment of the song. Lyrics:
Chorus:
Trouble soon be over,
Sorrow will have an end.
Trouble soon be over,
Oh, sorrow will have an end.

Well God is my burden bearer,
He is my best friend.
He carries me in all my sorrow,
And tells me to lean on him.

He proved a friend to David,
And he hid him in a cave.
The same God that David served,
Would give me a rest someday.

'Tho my burden may be heavy,
And almost a-crush me down,
Someday I'll be with my family,
And wear a starry crown

You all blend well together, and all in accapella!(no music accompaniment). You need to go on the road!
