Текст песни When the Battle Is Over - Walter Hawkins

The onset of a problem, we already know that we're victorious (yeah)
'Cause the Bible tells us that we're more than conquerors
That don't mean that you're not gonna cry, amen
It doesn't mean that you're not gonna be talked about, huh? Amen
It doesn't mean that you're not gonna hurt
It just means that the outcome of this is that I'm gonna be victorious (yeah)

I wrote a little song, it says, "Don't wait 'til the battle is over"
You can shout now, 'cause you know in the end
We're gonna win, amen
Sister Carol King and Sister LaWanda Scroggins, come on

Don't wait 'til the battle is over to shout now
You know in the end, you're gonna win
Don't wait 'til the battle is over to shout now
You know in the end, you're gonna win

Don't wait 'til the battle is over to shout now
You know in the end, you're gonna win
Don't wait 'til the battle is over to shout now
You know in the end, you're gonna win (sing now)

When you're burdened down with the cares of life
And your striving seems in vain
Hold your head up high
For your deliverance is nigh

When the battle is over (when the battle is over)
We gon' shout hallelujah (when the battle is over)
When the battle is over (when the battle is over)
Eh (we're going home, don't wait 'til the battle is over, shout now)
You know in the end, you're gonna win
Don't wait 'til the battle is over to shout now
You know in the end, you're gonna win

When the tears are streaming down
And there's no one around
When you feel like all hope is gone
No despair, God is right there

When the battle is over (when the battle is over)
Oh, when the battle is over (when the battle is over)
There'll be no more crying, ooh (when the battle is over)
There'll be no more dying (when the battle is over)
Oh, when the battle is over (when the battle is over)

Oh, yeah (we're going home, hallelujah)
Oh, going in the morning (hallelujah)
I won't be lonely (hallelujah)
You're gonna look for me (hallelujah)
And I'll be down on the floor (hallelujah)

Going up to Glory (hallelujah)
There to sing and shout (hallelujah)
Ain't nobody there (hallelujah)
To put me out (hallelujah)

But I'm up there just for Jesus (hallelujah)
Gonna tell Him I made it over (hallelujah)
Gonna tell Him all about my troubles (hallelujah)
Hallelujah (hallelujah)

Hallelujah (hallelujah)
Hallelujah (hallelujah)
Hallelujah (hallelujah)
Hallelujah

When the battle is over (when the battle is over)
When the battle is over (when the battle is over)
When the battle is over (when the battle is over)
Eh (we're going home, hallelujah)

Why should I wait? (Hallelujah)
Why should I wait? (Hallelujah)
Why should I wait? (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah

I'm gonna praise Him right now (hallelujah)
Gonna praise Him right now (hallelujah)
Praise Him right now (hallelujah)
Hallelujah

I'm gonna thank Him for the pain (hallelujah)
Thank Him for the rain (hallelujah)
Thank Him for the trials (hallelujah)
He brought me through (hallelujah)

Hallelujah (hallelujah)
Hallelujah (hallelujah)
Hallelujah (hallelujah)
Hallelujah (hallelujah)

Hallelujah (hallelujah)
Hallelujah (hallelujah)
Help me sing (hallelujah)
Hallelujah

Hallelujah (hallelujah)
Hallelujah (hallelujah)
Hallelujah (hallelujah)
(Hallelujah)

When the battle is over (when the battle is over)
Oh, when the battle is over (when the battle is over)
Oh, when the battle is over (when the battle is over)
Oh, yeah (we're going home, hallelujah)

Listen, listen, listen
Why should I wait? (Hallelujah)
Why should I wait? (Hallelujah)
Why should I wait? (Hallelujah)
(Hallelujah)

Praise Him when I'm happy (hallelujah)
Praise Him when I'm sad (hallelujah)
Praise Him when I'm lonely (hallelujah)
Praise Him when I'm glad, listen (hallelujah)
