All My Trials

IF RELIGION WERE A THING THAT MONEY COULD BUY

 

THE RICH WOULD LIVE AND THE POOR WOULD DIE

 

ALL MY TRIALS, LORD, SOON BE OVER

 

(BRIDGE)

TOO LATE, MY BROTHERS! TOO LATE, BUT NEVER MIND

 

HUSH LITTLE BABY, DON'T YOU CRY

YOU KNOW YOUR MAMA WAS BORN TO DIE

ALL MY TRIALS, LORD, SOON BE OVER

 

I'VE GOT A LITTLE BOOK WAS GIVEN TO ME,

AND EVERY PAGE SPELLS VICTORY

ALL MY TRIALS, LORD, SOON BE OVER

 

THERE IS A TREE IN PARADISE

THE PILGRIMS CALL IT "THE TREE OF LIFE"

ALL MY TRIALS LORD, SOON BE OVER

 

 

 

 

*All My Trials was a folk song during the social protest movements of the 1950s and 1960s. It is based on a

Bahamian lullaby that tells the story of a mother on her death bed, comforting her children –
