The End of All Days
Dale Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Up in the mornin' out on the job, work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Fuss with my woman toil for my kids
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Good Lawd above, can't you know I'm pinin'
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver linin'
Lift me to paradise
Show me that river

Take me across and wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day

Up in the mornin' out on the job,
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Fuss with my woman toil for my kids
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day

Good Lawd above, can't you know I'm pinin'
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver linin'
Lift me to paradise
Show me that river

Take me across and wash all my troubles away




Like that lucky old sun, give me nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day

Send down that cloud with a silver linin' Lift me to paradise

Overwhelming emotion of tears of joy.

@marionwilson2521

Having seen you understand the worship. You understand the caring about fellow human beings and how hard it is in the flesh and body. How precious and blessed what you are doing in that work.

@marionwilson2521

Just some of the things you made clear in my life, and experiences. Thank you so much, thank you.

@marionwilson2521

Wow you two God is preparing and your message is right on key, in the preparation too. The parts of my life you bring to light, and put it together. It's just so amazing.

@marionwilson2521

Yes, 40 yrs is so significant, the Israelite in the desert. To the promised land. 40 yrs. We will all worship the one true living God our Holy Father who is in Heaven, through his one and only son, christ jesus. It's precious holy and amazing.

@marionwilson2521

I have to post where I first your message, to come to your sight. It's a beautiful one body when the future comes together, in the word.

@marionwilson2521

Along with the revelations of God's work. Just how hard it is, I hope all don't go through, but I suspect many do.

@marionwilson2521

I have 2 experiences, that I never put together, before listening to the story about the plane crash. It is so incredibly strange. I have worked in aviation, so the subject matter grabs my attention. I had one experience on a operating table. But, also a very bad auto accident. Listening to Dale, brought the two together absolutely strangely, but explained so unbelievably incredibly perfect. My mom having overcome cancer. The things people may say would be planned out but the works of God, are God's purpose. And in the spirit and too many fall, into the expectations and the church depiction. Dale was saved, I cannot do this justice. His spouses miracle, are without a doubt at all, God. Our miracles have no other explanation and I have always been one to pick everything apart, until there is absolutely no doubt. That said the revelations in that has become the hands of man, vs the hands of God and the absolutely clarity in all of it. Where Satan has absolutely no say what so ever in any doubt at all. In the human condition, us in our imperfect body, recognizing my own, human nature. Etc. Holy wow, you two have a understanding and explanation. Few would even think of. You truly are blessed by the very hand of God himself, through his holy son, lord and savior christ jesus. 🙏... I know exactly following death and coming back and the change the incredible immense gratitude in healing miracles etc. The people that are so good in their hearts and try so hard and they do not understand it is not us, not that they did anything wrong or prayed wrong. Or etc. God loves them, is filled with joy in his heart for them, because ofthem. But carefully i have to say how i explain something, and the human interpretation, is very hard because satan is extremely deceptive, very cunning. I rebuke satan to depths of hell, to not ever deceive another human being ever again, in the Holy righteous name of God our Father in Heaven, lord and savior christ jesus, God's only begotten Son by way of immaculate conception and the comforter who is the Holy Spirit, amen. I am so excited because no otherpeople would understand, I have been talking for years inside of a silent bubble, few can hear none cam understand. Satan is having such tantrums, won't even let me find the original book, I wanted to buy. May God continue to Bless, the two of you, together, you two are so absolutely beautiful as one. So precious in God's work. Not us ours, but God's plan and purpose, it is so exciting to find other human beings on the earth. That may have the same language and understanding. Whether I find what I am looking for or not, I know. Holy God Bless you, protect you, not just in the body, the steps, in what is coming. Prepping two other people also, it is such a blessing. Treasured and Holy. I pray. The armor of God over the two of you in the most Holy, miraculous way. Always may satan never be able to get through to any of you. In Jesus Holy Righteous name, and we are so easily deceived and we have to revisit the word, continually. I praise God in Heaven, for you two. In Jesus Holy Righteous name and the purest of thought. Praise Glory and honor to God our Father, who is in Heaven, by way of our lord and savior christ jesus. Amen.
