I'll Wear a Crown

One thing we know that if we shall make it to heaven
Those of us that have sent up our timbers
We have laid up a crown of life
And we shall wear a golden crown

Watch ye, therefore, to know not the day
When the Lord shall call your soul away
If you try me, fighting for the right
You shall wear a golden crown
Watch ye, therefore, to know not the day
When the Lord shall call your soul away
If you try me, fighting for the right
You shall wear a golden crown

I shall wear a crown (I'm gonna wear me a crown)
I shall wear a crown (When the trumpet sounds)
When the trumpet sounds (When the trumpet sounds)
I shall wear a crown (Yeah)
Oh, I shall wear a crown (I wanna wear me)
I shall wear a crown (A golden crown)

And when the beat strikes, I am
Lay down my heavy burden (I'm gonna take my time)
Put on my roving glory (And lay down my heavy burden)
Shout and tell my true story (In my robe, and tell my story)
Sing and thank thee, Jesus (I gotta choose, you gotta choose)
Tell them all about my troubles (Lord, I gotta choose)
Put on my roving glory (And then I'm gonna shout)
Shout and tell my true story (Shout, shout, shout, shout)
Sing and thank thee, Jesus (Shout 'til I get tired)

Tell them all about my troubles (Tell them all about my troubles)
Put on my roving glory (Yeah, I wanna see my mother)

Shout and tell my true story (Shake the hand of my brother)
Sing and thank thee, Jesus (We're gonna wear a)

Put on my roving glory (Golden crown)

I shall wear a crown (I'm gonna wear me a crown)
I shall wear a crown (A golden crown)
When the trumpet sounds (When the trumpet sounds)
When the trumpet sounds (When the trumpet sounds)
I shall wear a crown (Yeah)
Oh, I shall wear a crown (Uh-huh, wear me a crown)
I shall wear a crown (Yeah)

And when the beat strikes, I am

Lay down my heavy burden

Put on my roving glory

Shout and tell my true story

Sing and thank thee, Jesus

Tell them all about my troubles
Put on my roving glory

Shout and tell my true story

Sing and thank thee, Jesus
Tell them all about my troubles
Put on my roving glory

Shout and tell my true story
Put on my roving glory
Shout and tell my true story
Put on my roving glory
Shout and tell my true story
Put on my roving glory
Shout and tell my true story
Put on my roving glory
Shout and tell my true story

Sing and thank thee, Jesus
Tell them all about my troubles
Put on my roving glory (Oh, and we're gonna shout)
Shout and tell my true story
And then we shall wear a golden crown
