Here story is a personal hope that one day this life of suffering will be over. This hope is expressed in a song by Mahalia Jackson: One of these mornings, One of these mornings I'm gonna lay down my cross And get my crown. Just as soon as my feet strike Zion, Lay down my heavy burden, Put on my robe in glory, Lord, Sing, Lord, and tell my story. Up over hills and mountains, Lord, To the Christian fountain, All of God's sons and daughters, Lord, Drinking that old healing water.18
