Don't wait 'till the battle is over to shout now,
You know in the end, you're gonna win.

When you're burdened down with the cares of life
and you feel all hope is gone.
Don't despair, God will be right there;
when the battle is over'
Chorus 2
When the battle is over (3x),
we're going home.
Verse 2
When the tears are streaming down
and there's no one around,
and your striving seems in vain.
Hold your head up high, your deliverence is nigh';
when the battle is over'

Hallelujah (5x)
