THE FLOOD CAME FAST
GONE
CAN’T CHANGE THE PAST
GONE
MY FLESH AND BLOOD
GONE
TAKEN BY THE FLOOD
GONE
THIS MOUNTAIN LAND
GONE
LIKE SHIFTING SAND
GONE
’TWAS A BITTER CUP
GONE
BUT WE DRUNK IT UP
GONE

THIS WORLD’S A WILDERNESS OF WOE
NO TRANQUIL JOYS WE KNOW
BUT I KNOW OUR TROUBLES WILL ONE DAY BE
GONE

ONE DAY ALL FEARS
GONE
AND ALL OUR TEARS
GONE
THE STRESS AND STRAIN
GONE
THE DOUBT AND PAIN
GONE
THE HOWLIN’ GALE
GONE
OVER HILL AND DALE
GONE
THE CLOUDS OF GRAY
GONE
THAT DREADFUL DAY
GONE

WE’RE HEADED TO A PROMISED LAND
WHERE WE WILL TAKE OUR SAVIOR’S HAND
AND I KNOW OUR TROUBLES WILL ONE DAY BE
GONE
