Will Rest Ever Come?

Mahalia Jackson
I wonder when the day will ever come
When I'll have rest.
I wonder when the day will ever come
When I'll have rest.
Every since I can remember,
I've had to struggle so hard.
I wonder when the day will ever come
When I'll have rest.
I never shall forget
what my poor father said to me:
"Child, I want you to always be mindful
of obstructions that show up in your way"
But as I go on from place to place,
Seems like the doors just close in my face.
I wonder, will rest ever come my way??
