It Won't Be Very Long (Take 2) - Sam Cooke & The Soul Stirrers
[Senior Roy Crain]

Well, you know it won't be very long
You know it won't be very long
You know it won't be very long
Till all the saints get home

Woah, will you be ready then
Just to meet the ransomed throng
You better get ready for the day child
You know it won't be very long

Oh, you know it won't be very long
Till the day of Christ arrives
You know it won't be very long
Till we'll meet Him in the sky

Lord and then I'll shout and sing
With angels round the throne
I'm getting ready for that day child
I know it won't be very, very long

Woah, it won't be very long
You know it won't be very long
You know it won't be very long
Till all the saints get home

Yes, will you be ready then
Just to meet the ransomed throng
You better get ready for the day child
You know it won't be very long

Well, I know it won't be very, very long
Till all my burdens I lay down
I know it won't be very long
Till I receive my starry crown

Lord, and when I run this race
I'm gonna see my Savior's face
You better get ready for that day child
I know it won't be very, very long

Disc 1 shows the raw passion of a vocalist who has yet to apply the polish for which he would become known. By disc 2, Cooke is no longer tentative in replacing a legend but asserting an irrepressible musical identity. Disc 3 demonstrates his growth as both a vocal master and an ambitious songwriter - most famously on "Touch the Hem of His Garment"- while documenting his transition as a solo artist into the secular arena. After the various Takes of "Were You There?" show how Cooke could Take the most familiar material and make it his own, the final three tracks capture his electrifying impact in live performance. - Don McLeese
