Don't wait till the battle is over shout now.
You know in the end you're gonna win.
When you're burdened down with the cares of life
And you're striving seems in vain.
Hold you head up high, your deliverance is nigh.

When the battle is over
When the battle is over
When the battle is over.
We're going home.

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

Hallelujah. hallelujah. hallelujah.
Ha-lle-lujah going up to glory,
There to sing and shout.
Ain't nobody there to put me out.

Gonna thank him for the rain,
Gonna thank him for the pain,
Gonna thank him for the trials
He brought me through.

What is the highest praise?
What is the highest praise?
What is the highest praise?

When the battle is over
When the battle is over
When the battle is over.
We're going home.

Why should i wait?
Why should i wait?
I wont have to wait.
I wont have to wait.
Going to praise him right now

Praise him right now.
Gonna thank him for the rain,
Gonna thank him for the pain,
Gonna thank him for the trials
He brought me through.

Gonna thank him when i'm happy.
Gonna thank him when i'm sad.
Gonna thank him when i'm lonely
Because he has made me glad.
Hallelujah x6

When the battle is over
When the battle is over
When the battle is over
When the battle is over
When the battle is over.
We're going home.
