When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more,
And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair
When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore,
And the roll is called up yonder, I?ll be there
When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll is called up yonder I?ll be there
On that bright and cloudless morning when the dead in Christ shall rise,
And the glory of His resurrection share
When His chosen ones shall gather to their home beyond the skies,
And the roll is called up yonder, I?ll be there
When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll is called up yonder I?ll be there
Let us labor for the Master from the dawn till setting sun,
Let us talk of all His wondrous love and care
Then when all of life is over, and our work on earth is done,
And the roll is called up yonder, I?ll be there
When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll is called up yonder I?ll be there-Songwriter James Milton Black
Cold, long and weary; the winter’s gone dead.
Busted up ol’ overcoat, coverin’ my head.
One more season of tryin’ to lay it down.
“Damn ol’ life,” I mumble, to no one around.
Through a million miles of walkin’,
with a million things to say,
I can’t cut closer to the bone;
hard times’ve never gone away.
Big wind ‘a blowin’, and comin’ on strong.
Throwing down a good man, and everything’s gone wrong.
I’ve let a troubled life poison me,
buried most the good parts and let the bad run free.
Through a million miles of walkin’, etc...
Heartache and sadness, they look to be my friends.
How I’d like to kill them both & start all over again.
They count on defining their lives by my past,
Come now, Great Redeemer; heal me up at last.
Through a million miles of walkin’, etc...
Songwriter-Kelly Joe Phelps
