I SHALL WEAR A CROWN Lyrics
When it’s all over (2x)
I shall see His face (2x)
When it’s all over (2x)
(Invert parts after each set of 2)
I’m going to put on my robe, tell the story how I made it over. (2x)
I’m going to put on my robe, tell the story how I made it over (2x)
I’m going to put on my robe, tell the story how I made it over (vamp)
Soon as I get home (repeat)
