Trials, Troubles, Tribulations Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Trials, troubles, tribulations
Success has never been before

[Chorus]
When the fire comes down from heaven
And the blood shall fill the sea
I'll be carried home by Jesus
And forever with him be
[Verse 2]

Men will cry unto the mountains
They'll pray to die but cannot win
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[Verse 3]
The mark must be upon your forehead
These worldly goods you can then buy
"Depart from me, I never knew you,"
You'll hear our blessed savior cry
[Chorus]
[Outro]
And forever with him be
And forever with him be
