Warfare
Journey to Redemption: Unveiling Spiritual Warfare in Willi Carlisle's Melody
Lyrics
Well my warfare'll soon be endin'
Anticipating the conclusion of personal struggles or conflicts
My race is almost run
My journey or life is nearing its end
My warfare'll soon be endin'
Similar to line 1, referring to the imminent end of personal battles
And then I'm goin' home
After the end of these struggles, I will return to my home
Christ was a wayward traveller
Comparing oneself to Christ, suggesting a wandering or itinerant nature
He went from door to door
Depicting Christ's journey from place to place seeking hospitality
His occupation mainly
Christ's primary role was to serve or tend to the Lord
Was administerin' to the Lord
Continuing the idea of Christ's service to the Lord
And they called my God a demon
People denounced or criticized my God as evil
They call his saints the same
The followers of my God (saints) are also subjected to similar criticism
But when I shout Amen
Expressing affirmation after a statement, calling for acknowledgment of God
Well, I want you to say Hi! 's name
As I affirm God, I urge you to acknowledge His name
Cuz you can rebuke me all you want to
Regardless of criticism, I am steadfast in my devotion
I'm travellin' to my lord
My journey or travel is directed towards my Lord
I'm well acquainted with the gospel
I am well-versed in the teachings of the gospel
I'm well acquainted with
Reiteration of familiarity with religious teachings or doctrine
Well my warfare'll soon be endin'
Reiterating the nearing end of personal struggles or conflicts
My race is almost run
Reinforcing the idea of nearing the end of life's journey
My warfare'll soon be endin'
Same as line 20, implying an imminent resolution of personal battles
And then I'm goin' home
After these conflicts cease, I will return home
And then I'm goin' home
Repetition for emphasis on the imminent return home
And then I'm goin' home
Emphasizing once again the imminent return home after struggles end
