All My Trials Lyrics

I had a little book was given to me
And every page spelt liberty
All my trials Lord soon be over

There is a tree in paradise
And the pilgrims call it the tree of life
All my trials Lord soon be over

But it's too late my friend
Too late but never mind
All my trials Lord soon be over

If religion were a thing that money could buy
Then the rich would live and the poor would die
All my trials Lord soon be over

All my trials Lord soon be over
