Lyrics
VERSE I:
In this world you're gonna have trials and tribulations. (Jesus said it).
My words have passed your lips with sorrow. (Jesus said it).
But I would not leave you comfortless.
I must go till you get.
I have Overcome...
Chorus:
the World. I have overcome...
(JESUS OVERCOME THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD
I done it for you...
I have overcome...
(JESUS OVERCOME THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD)
It's got nothing on you.
I have over come...
VERSE II:
In this world you're gonna cry. (Jesus cried)
Sometimes you're even going to say goodbye. (Jesus cried).
My words (Jesus cried) have passed your lips with sorrow.
But don't give up (Don't you give up) in your time of need.
I'll be there just call on me.
I have overcome...
BRIDGE:
The world...everything that makes you sad
Everything that makes you mad.
I have overcome the world....
And in a little while you won't see me.
But in a little while you gonne see me again.
One day I promise you.
I have overcome....the world!
Guitar Solo
VERSE III
In this world you're gonna die (Jesus died)
Your soul is something different than your life (Jesus died.)
And my words (Jesus died) may seem too hard (You and I) to face tomorrow (face tomorrow. face tomorrow)
But hold on, change is on its way.
Talk to me everyday.
I have overcome.
The world......vamp and fade.
