"End of My Journey" | Harry Stewart | from movie "Cadence"

Sure it's religious ... they're in a church so what else would it be.  Sweetbread Crane takes the solo while in RL his name is Harry Stewart.  He's the author of the song.




"Cadence" is a remarkable movie and the conflict between Martin Sheen as the company commander and Charlie Sheen as the prisoner with an extremely bad attitude is exceptionally portrayed.  There's a great deal of learning and evolution in the movie, all of which is handled in surprising ways.  Laurence Fishburne is the de facto King of the Prisoner Barracks and his job is extraordinary as well but it's a cast of gifted actors and the interplay is a wonder to behold.  The movie is a long-time favorite.


Here's the studio version of the song.




Lyrics for "End of My Journey"

lord you know that i've been bad 
so there's no use in lying to myself
heavenly father please forgive me 
i really don't want to disown myself 

chorus 
oh when i come to the end of my journey 
weary of life, the battle is won 
carry myself, the cross of redemption 
we'll understand it, better by and by 

lord sometimes i feel like samson 
you know the world has so many delilah's 
almighty god give me just a little more time 
to right all the wrong that i have done

chorus
oh when i come to the end of my journey 
weary of life, the battle is won 
carry myself, the cross of redemption 
we'll understand it, better by and by 
we'll understand it, better by and by 
repeat chorus

-  Harry Stewart
