No Depression in Heaven

Lyrics
For fear the hearts of men are failing,
Expressing concern that people's spirits or courage are weakening.
For these are latter days we know
Referring to the present time as a period close to the end of days or challenging times.
The Great Depression now is spreading,
Acknowledging the widespread impact of the Great Depression.
God's word declared it would be so
Asserting that the occurrence of the Great Depression aligns with God's prophetic declaration.
I'm going where there's no depression,
Expressing a desire to go to a place without emotional or economic distress.
To the lovely land that's free from care
Describing the destination as a beautiful place without worries.
I'll leave this world of toil and trouble,
Expressing a wish to leave behind the difficulties and hardships of the world.
My home's in Heaven, I'm going there
Stating that the speaker's ultimate home is in Heaven.
In that bright land, there'll be no hunger,
Imagining a place where there is no hunger or need.
No orphan children crying for bread,
Painting a picture of a utopia where orphan children don't suffer from hunger.
No weeping widows, toil or struggle,
Envisioning a world without grieving widows and the struggles of life.
No shrouds, no coffins, and no death
Describing an ideal place with no death, symbolized by shrouds, coffins, and mourning.
I'm going where there's no depression,
Reiterating the desire to go to a place free from emotional and economic depression.
To the lovely land that's free from care
Reemphasizing the vision of a beautiful and carefree land as the destination.
I'll leave this world of toil and trouble,
Reiterating the intention to leave behind the toils and troubles of the world.
My home's in Heaven, I'm going there
Affirming that the speaker's true home is in Heaven.
This dark hour of midnight nearing
Describing a moment of darkness and approaching difficulties.
And tribulation time will come
Anticipating a time of tribulation or suffering.
The storms will hurl in midnight fear
Depicting storms of fear and potential catastrophe in the midnight hour.
And sweep lost millions to their doom
Expressing the idea that these storms will lead many to their unfortunate fate.
I'm going where there's no depression,
Reiterating the desire to go to a place without emotional or economic distress.
To the lovely land that's free from care
Reemphasizing the vision of a beautiful and carefree land as the destination.
I'll leave this world of toil and trouble,
Reiterating the intention to leave behind the toils and troubles of the world.
My home's in Heaven, I'm going there
Affirming that the speaker's true home is in Heaven.
