Translation of Cherokee version into English

God's son paid for us
then to heaven He went
after paying for us.

But He said, When He rose,
"I'll come again"
He said when He spoke.

All the earth will end when He comes.
All will see him
All over the earth.

All the good people living
He will come after.

Heaven always,
in peace they will live.
