There will come a payday, hallelujah what a payday There will come a payday someday, someday There will come a payday, hallelujah what a payday There will come a payday someday When I lay my work by, I've a home in the sky For there will come a payday someday Where no interest comes due or notes to renew Oh, there will come a payday someday Here I work every day for such meager pay But there will come a payday someday And the title's not clear to the home I own here But there will come a payday someday There will come a payday, hallelujah what a payday There will come a payday someday, someday There will come a payday, hallelujah what a payday There will come a payday someday Our wonderful lord gives a home as reward 'Cause there will come a payday someday His work cleanly shows he'll never foreclose He promised a payday that day When the door opens wide with its beauty inside Oh, what a grand payday that day With a handshake and then brother, come right on in! Hallelujah, what a payday that day There will come a payday, hallelujah what a payday There will come a payday someday, someday There will come a payday, hallelujah what a payday There will come a payday someday
