Beverly Crawford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
as my feet touch zion
just as soon as i get there
i'm gonna lay down, my heavy burdens
i'll be shouting, my troubles over
i'll be singing, glory, hallelujah!
just as soon as i get there
one of these ole mornings
won't be very long
you're gonna look for me
and i'll be gone on home
i'll be in my mansion
over in the promised land
i'll be shouting, my troubles over
i'll be singing, glo-o-ry, hallelujah!
just as soon as i get there
i'll be shouting
i'll be singing
hallelujah
just as soon as i get there
The lyrics of Beverly Crawford's song "Just as Soon (I'll Be Shouting)" express intense anticipation of the singer's arrival in Zion. This imagery is deeply rooted in biblical texts that describe Zion (Jewish and Christian) as a place of ultimate blessedness, redemption, and salvation. The singer's eagerness to reach this destination is reflected in the repetition of the phrase "just as soon" throughout the song, which signals urgency and impatience.
The singer also mentions "lay[ing] down [her] heavy burdens" and "troubles," which are metaphorical references to the hardships and challenges of life on Earth. This reveals the belief in the idea of "eternal life" and a hope to be free from the worries and suffering of earthly existence. The song highlights the role of joy in the ultimate destination of the believers. The repeated expressions of "shouting" and "singing" are a form of worship and praise to God and a sign of the redemption and salvation that lies ahead.

Had the best looking perms I'd ever seen. Even in today's time, I still haven't seen a perm as beautiful as hers was.❤

I remember this song from a WOW Gospel compilation video. I was a young believer and fell in love with the fact that those who truly love the triune GOD will be with Jesus soon! This song makes me dance and shout for joy. Come quickly, Lord Jesus Christ!

I love old gospel songs that edify the body of Christ. These are the types of songs that birth righteousness within our souls. God bless you for sharing.
