I've been talked about
Been done so wrong
All of my life, no one really cared at all
But very soon, it'll be over
I will cross the river to be with Jesus, after awhile
(Chorus)
After a while it'll be worth it
After a while it'll be over
Oh, yes my Lord, I'm gonna see your face
I thank you for your saving grace
I will do it all
After awhile
I've heard it said many times before
Heaven will be worth all the pain I bore
Oh but soon I'll lay down my burdens
When I cross over Jordan to be with Jesus
After a while
(Background sings)
After a while it'll be worth it
After a while it'll be over
Oh, yes my Lord, I'm gonna see your face
I thank you for your saving grace
I will do it all
After awhile
After a while it'll be worth it
After a while it's gonna be over
Oh, yes my Lord, I will see your face
And I thank you for your saving grace
I will do it all
After awhile
It'll be over
After a while
It will be worth it
After a while
