about

"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing." ~ 2 Timothy 4:7-8

lyrics

Am I a soldier of the cross, a follower of the Lamb?
And shall I fear to own His cause, or blush to speak His name?

Chorus
And when the battle’s over, we shall wear a crown!
Yes, we shall wear a crown! Yes, we shall wear a crown!
And when the battle’s over, we shall wear a crown,
In the New Jerusalem!
Wear a crown; wear a crown; wear a bright and shining crown!
And when the battle’s over, we shall wear a crown,
In the New Jerusalem!

Must I be carried to the skies, on flowery beds of ease;
While others fought to win the prize, and sailed through bloody seas?

~~~Chorus~~~

Are there no foes, for me to face? Must I not stem the flood?
Is this vile world, a friend to grace, to help me on to God?

~~~Chorus~~~

Sure, I must fight, if I would reign; increase my courage, Lord!
I’ll bear the toil; endure the pain; supported by Thy Word!

~~~Chorus~~~
