[Intro]
I'm gonna sing a song and I want everybody to help me sing this song. Trouble don't last always (No sir) (No). Behind the dark cloud, the sun is shining (Yes sir) (Oh yes).​

[Verse 1]
I'm so glad that trouble don't last always
I'm so glad that trouble don't last always
I'm so glad that trouble don't last always
O my Lord, O my Lord, what shall I do?

[Verse 2]
I want to go to heaven and I want to go right
I want to go to heaven and I want to go right
I want to go to heaven and I want to go right
O my Lord, O my Lord, what shall I do?

[Verse 3]
Laz'us in heaven and Dives in hell
Laz'us in heaven and Dives in hell
Laz'us in heaven and Dives in hell
O my Lord, O my Lord, what shall I do?

[Verse 1]
I'm so glad that trouble don't last always
I'm so glad that trouble don't last always
I'm so glad that trouble don't last always
O my Lord, O my Lord, what shall I do?
