V1:
For so long God's children, have looked toward the Heavens,
Watching and listening for the trumpet to sound,
We're all kind of homesick, we're anxiously waiting,
For that glorious morning when we rise from the ground
Chorus:
So, lift your head weary pilgrim, for soon He is coming,
We know not the moment when we'll see His face,
Fight on wounded soldier, hold on a few more days,
It will be worth it all, when He calls us away
V2:
We have been through the fire, but we're not defeated,
we've climbed many mountains on our journey toward home,
Soon the race will be finished, triumphant we will rise,
Oh what a day when we meet Him, in those eastern skies
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Press on it won't be very long, until we reach that land of song,
In Heaven some sweet day, I'm going there to stay,
Press on it won't be very, it won't be long,
Tag:
Fight on wounded soldier, hold on a few more days,
It will be worth it all, when He calls us away,
Lift your head weary pilgrim, for it won't be long,
It will be worth it all, when He calls us away
